The USA "GETTING RAN OUT OF BOXING" Debt clock and counting.

[Elroy1]

The USA has now been completely ran out of boxing. It's basically been getting the boot for the last 10 years.

Ward sensed danger, stuck his head in the sand. We'll never see him again.

Floyd is only a paper champion now, everyone know who the real champion is.

Golovkin, Kovalev and Klitschko sit on thrones overlooking their subjects.

It's clear.

Europe is the present and the future.

Trained stringently from the moment they can walk using the most advanced techniques, how can that be beat?

Rap music and street crime by comparison just isn't adequate preparation for elite boxing these days

Who would have thought!

Football is king in America.

Boxing ranks below Baseball (which rules my household) and Basketball. Maybe even Hockey.

Its a niche sport

Oh yeah, right..

The boxing champions have always been the signature of American superiority and arrogance in the sports world since the days of Jack friggin Dempsey atleast!

And now suddenly, boxing is just a little fringe sport that nobody cares about in America anymore, that's why ey! Boxing is always going to be a "fringe" sport compared to those others regardless because it is so tough that hardly anybody wants to do it and only few that do can. But the prestige associated with "Champion of the World" in it was always of highest significance to Americans.

For 150 years, the flag of the sport was firmly planted on home soil until, now, every division middleweight and north has been ripped up and replanted on the other side of the world. Lower divisions are also only nominally in the hands of US control, through cowardly ducking antics.

It's clear.

Beaten out of boxing! Fact!

Were there to be a shining example of a great black fighter who wasn't a complete wanker or shameless ducker right now.. He'd have respect.

It's the shameful nationalist attitude of US fans, not racially specific, that deserves to be belted out.

That "NFL and NBA took all the great US heavyweights" thing is particularly hilarious when you take into account:

- Historical US heavyweights weren't really big enough for the NFL or NBA to begin with. You have to be on something special to think all the Joe Fraziers and Ernie Shavers of the world were snagged up by the NFL and NBA.

- Somehow soccer and hockey haven't stolen away latin America's & Europe's boxers in the correlating weight divisions, so this ******ed theory doesn't apply to the rest of the world.

- It's not like the other divisions are bursting at the seams with US champions either. They didn't go become horse jockeys though, they lost before we ever heard of them.

Slow, sloppy, undersized, mouthy American "golden age heavyweights" were NEVER very good. It's easy to look good when your opponents are... All from the same 3-4 cities... And barely anyone else is even given the chance to compete (maybe 1 or 2 Brit journeymen every few years).

Thurman beat an undefeated European champ last night.

And Charlo destroyed another Euro who was ranked #9 by the IBF.

Thurman beat an undefeated European champ last night.

Top up-and-comer struggled against a faded 40 year old.

And Charlo destroyed another Euro who was ranked #9 by the IBF.

Before last night, I'd never even heard of the guy Charlo fought.

His opponent Lenny Bottai was a clubfighter from Italy, rated #114 at 154 by BoxRec.

Hardly a win to brag about.
