The Supposed Euro/Russian HW Explosion Has Officially Fizzled Out
Collapse

Cristobal Nipple did get his ass beat by cruiserweight Adamek which was pretty embarrassing. His title shot was probably one of Jose Suliman's last acts.Comment

You can say what you want HW is still dominated by Wlod who is european, and probaly stay that way for couple more years when he ll get replaced by another european, probably Pulev or one of the Brits.
CW- totally dominated by european, down to middleweight Stevenson, Hopkins and Ward are probably the only ones left carrying the US torch as the best in their division, and with the olimpians turning pro the lower division are soon to follow.Comment

Wilder and Jennings top 5...Two years ago the Euro fans on here were just beside themselves gushing about all the future HW talent coming out and how the American heavies were terrible and doomed to 2nd class status even after the Klitschko brothers retired.
Now here we are two years later and pretty much every single guy has turned out to be overrated - or an outright fraud - let's take a look
Robert Helenius - The Nordic-less Nightmare, went from heir apparent to the HW title, to getting his ass kicked by a tomato can Chisora, to crying about his contract and ****ing off the Finland. BUST.
Dennis Boytsov - Oh yeah gotta love the hype this guy got as the Russian Tyson or whatever the hell they called him after he fought a resume that makes Deontay Wilder laugh. Beaten down by an Australian of zero repute. BUST
Alexander Dimirenko - Has the honor of not only saying he made Eddie Chambers look like a power puncher but also holds claim as the only fighter to **** his pants and pass out from fear in the locker room before a fight. BUST.
David Haye - Was going to save us from the Klitschko's. Nothing to add here - his name is the punch line. BUST
David Price - The next heir apparent. UK fans were comparing his size and power to Klitschko and even giving Price the nod. Destroyed twice by a 41 year old American fighter largely viewed as washed up in utterly pathetic efforts. Attempting to rebuild his career with the help of a Sauerland and a shrink. Good luck. BUST
Artur Szpilka - Exposed - KO'd by a guy who doesn't even hit hard. BUST.
Magomed Abdusalamov - Best wishes in recovery but yet another guy who was clearly overhyped with a padded up record. BUST
Alexander Povetkin - Was supposed to be the best non-Klit for many years but sat around fighting tomato cans and passing up chances- got his shot - and fared no better than anyone else who has fought Wlad. HYPE.
Tomasz Adamek - Has spent more time drinking and driving and turning down fights the past couple years than he has spent training. Is already well past it by now. No Future.
Alexander Ustinov - Imagine taking 300 lbs of dog crap and shaping it into human form. Then put boxing gloves on it and give it life. Then you have Ustinov. NEVER WAS
Manuel Charr - I'm sure someone takes him seriously. Has fought nothing but stiffs since losing to Vitali. BUST
Glazkov - Was schooled by Malik Scott. Regardless of decision his ceiling was exposed as not being world class. BUST
Who is left?
Kubrat Pulev? Probably the consensus #1 European HW at the moment but is still fighting guys like Joey Abell. I'm not sold.
Tyson Fury - At least he talks a good game and isn't afraid to come to the USA for a fight. I'll give ya that!
Meanwhile...............
Two North Americans will fight for the WBC title and two Americans - Wilder and Jennings are considered among the Top-5 HW's in the world by most boxing experts.
The US fighters aren't incredibly impressive themselves - but the current Euro-Russian crop has gone bust at an amazing rate over the past two years.
If the Klitschkos retired today HW superiority would come from the Western Hemisphere for the time being.
HeheComment

YPH hardly dominates CW, he has the talent but his best win is an ageing Cunningham. Where are the Huck fights or Afolabi or Leb or the come backing Jones?
His fighting a decent guy next but imo he isn't a top 10 contender. Huck has a far better resume than YPH at CW, just a shame he doesn't have that Cunningham win.Comment

Kolodziej is terrible dont get your hopes up for this fight. I would love Huck to stop running from Wlodarczyk unification but it seems like he is going to HW again, oh well.YPH hardly dominates CW, he has the talent but his best win is an ageing Cunningham.
