    East European boxers and American Trainers: Great results!

    There's a great knowledge of subtle boxing techniques that gradually evolved and improved over 150 years in the American boxing gyms. Boxing was a much more profitable sport some years ago in the USA than anywhere else in the world. The competitiveness and huge financial rewards brought out the best in boxers and trainers, and they were constantly seeking new methods and techniques to be better than their opponents.

    In the past, without American trainers to teach them subtle boxing techniques, talented and strong boxers from Eastern Europe and other parts of the world have often been beaten by their craftier American opponents who had superior technical skills.

    But when you have a knowledgeable American trainer like Emmanuel Steward or John David Jackson together with a focused, motivated and talented East European boxer, then you have the right combination for success.

    Certainly the commitment to steroid use by Eastern Euro boxers has also aided those results.

      What East European boxers have tested positive in the past decade? The only one I can recall is Wach.

      Certainly a lot of other boxers have though, over half of them were older fighters trying to remain competitive:

      PEDerson
      Ortiz
      G Jones
      Berto
      Olubamiwo
      Whyte
      Briggs
      Bey
      Wach
      Tarver
      Toney
      Oquendo

                Twenty years ago, not in the pros.

                Name one besides Wach from the past 10 years?

                  Funnily enough, American fighters would benefit if they used Euro trainers to learn how to punch/offense in general. The American power puncher is nearly an extinct species.

                    Anton Novikov, 2 years ago. Just off the top of my head.
