Soviet/Eastern European heavyweights dominating 60s/70s era? Myth Busted!

[LacedUp]

This is just a fantasy, current Klitschkos toy with prime Ali, the size difference is too much.

Guys like Fraizer would get destroyed by the Pulev's around, "A good big man will always beat a good little man"

Ain't nothing changed it's just a nostalgic fantasy Americans (specifically AA's) like to cling onto, they were good for their time but currently there is no comparing these 6'4 plus beasts we have in the division.

Another man clearly didn't read the thread.

The history of pro-boxing would have been significantly altered, throughout the weight classes, if the Soviet (and Cuban) fighters had been able to turn pro.

true.

But not the point of the thread at all.

Elroy could well avoid this thread because his usual spew will seem even more ridiculous.

Who knows though

No....Sorry, Elroy has reAached maximum full ******, there is no level below to go and no coming back. its all gravy...Man I wish I had used a rubber tht night, I can't even buy a quart of milk, much less a pacquio fight with all the alimony that ****** cost me, all because I thought saran wrap and coconut oil was as good as any trojan. When the doctor said more is not necessarily better i thought he meant chocolate not chromosomes, not elroy!

This is a good thread, i know now that gold medalists actually won fights in the amateurs. Thanks for the science op.

How can the American amateur program be weak when the P4P #1 and #2 fighters in the world are both Americans?

You are obviously not a keen follower of Olympic boxing. In the past 3 Olympics the US total medal count is behind the following countries:

Cuba
Russia
Great Britain
Kazakhstan
Italy
Ukraine
Ireland
Thailand
China
Azerbaijan
South Korea
Mongolia
France


If you want to be an able Nay sayer then you may need to have some knowledge on your side.

And it's not like it's filled with special talent either tbh.

Well the point of the thread was trying to disprove something only an imbecile would actually believe anyway. It didn't exactly need disproving.

Yes, tied on 3 medals (Ward, Dirrell, Wilder) with Egypt and Uzbekistan.

You'd be surprised!
