The answer is no, Eastern Europe is gradually taking over boxing with a slew of good fighters who fans want to see because of their tremendous power and highlight reel kos.
Are Americans taking boxing back?

I don't ignore the nonblack American boxers. Butterbean and Malignaggi are okay. Notice that if I spoke about "black people" I could have mentioned Mayweather (ww), Lara (lmw), Quillin (mw), Ward (smw), Stevenson (lhw), Wilder (hw) and also Rigondeaux (sbw), Walters (fw), Crawford (lw), etc. But I didn't do that, I ask if AMERICAN boxers, not black boxers, are taking back boxing.Comment

Develop somebody that can beat Floyd Mayweather Jr and Andre Ward....then I will believe your theories of how you're country or region of the world is "TAKING OVER BOXING"
However cong**** for finally having a few good fighters from your country in the sport of boxing after SO MANY YEARS! Now you have a lot of catching up to do so...GOOD LUCK!
Talk **** about America all you want but your favorite fighter needs this country to make money in the sport and have a desire to be a Superstar HERE IN THE USA and not in his own countryLast edited by sicko; 04-10-2015, 07:11 PM.Comment

Boxing has always had champs from all over the world. 1 champ in 1 weightclass, because ward is too inactive to be listed as one, does not mean America has taken over boxing.
And yeah they go to America for the money as well but surely that's an even bigger mockery? Them coming over, beating American fighters and earning money from it?
But look man, I personally support fighters based on the fighter, not their country. If you want to refuse to admit that America is not the boxing superpower it once was then so be it.Comment

So mayweather and ward=boxing? Because ward is a huge draw. Because ward has fought so many people outside of Oakland. Because the welterweight division =boxing.

Ward don't need to fight out of Oakland because he is blessed to be in AMERICA, he can fight in front of a small crowd and still pull in a great Payday
Coming over and beating an American...that fact that you make that such a big deal only shows me how HIGHLY you really think of America and how important that is TO YOU. Some guy from another country beats an American people are Starting Threads and Celebrating, American beat a guy from another Country...NOBODY CARES!
It is a Saying that goes "ACT LIKE YOU BEEN THEIR BEFORE WHEN YOU WIN" well that is not the case with some fans, they never been here before and is not use to having Great Fighters and Great Tradition so when they do finally get a good fighter or 2 they don't know how to behave.
Terrance Crawford going to whip Ricky Burns in front of his crowd, nobody made big deal about that and turned it into "OH USA BOXING IS #1" you wanna know why that is? Because US Boxing are use to having GREAT FIGHTERS! It is hard to impress US fans because we have seen so many great fighters with so many different stylesLast edited by sicko; 04-10-2015, 08:09 PM.Comment
