All New Zealand HW boxers are in rugby....

[SirTomJones]

Just the fat ones, or do skinny ones have other sports too?

Skinny ones play basketball and fatties play NFL

[Sweet Pea 50]

most people when someone mentions boxing people tend to think of the likes of Ali and Tyson.

I always preferred watching the division with people fighting at the same weight as me personally. I don't know why


BTW i am 168lbs.

I weigh 145 lbs. Hence the screen name, and sig. Plus I'm a short shit, just like Pea, lol.

[Mikhnienko]

i hate to say it but i love threads like this one


the foreigners really cant win
they never owned the divsision

we kept it in our back pockets

when we adopted other sports we let them have it.

it's really that simple.


they open the discussion
we finish it

Yeah you owned it alright.... when competing against yourselves. What's with Americans calling themselves World Champions ? lulz Like your baseball is called the "World Series" lmao

Going by this Wikipedia page I count 50 American heavyweight champions since 1882. (it was hard to count them because there were so many, and some of the names repeated.)

Since 1882 New Zealand has had.......wait for it.....0 heavyweight champions.

people from all over the west play baseball

guys from japan are making their way over here as well

its huge in the Caribbean, the national sport in many different countries


just under 40% of the league is non-caucasian, many of those guys being not born in the states

more than a quarter are latinos, with almost all of them growing up outside of the states

i can provide a link if you care to look through it:
