    Eastern Europe ain't nothing special

    Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania,etc, those countries aren't jack **** in boxing, they're on the same level as western countries like France and Italy.

    only the ex-SOVIET nations like Ukraine, Chechnya, Kazakhztan and Russia are producing great fighters. there's a reason for that.The superior Rus' genes, and the mental and physical toughness that comes from having russian genes in your blood, even more if you have a soviet background, such as the Klitschkos.

    Even guys like GGG, a mixed race from an ex-soviet country, benefits from their russian heritage, GGG is what he is thanks to his mostly russian genes. he owes nothing to koreans, koreans are soft people who cant fight. specially south koreans

    So no, eastern euros aren't doing great, it's only russians. russians by heritage, ex-soviets if you want to call them that. It's only the descendants of the Rus', the strongest of all slavic people in history
    For conformity... In fact, "the superior Rus' genes" are from the Norse stock (i.e. Vikings and/or the so-called Varangians, a group of whom was known as Rus' -- hence the Kievan Rus' ...) Therefore, the "Slavic" genes simply aren't the same with the "Rus' genes"...

      Eastern Europe had WAY more casualties in World Wars so that's not an excuse for Western Europe to not participate

      I want to see people all over the world to compete. I want to see more fighters from Asia, Australia and Africa as well. Just imagine boxing without Latin, American, British, and Eastern fighters, we're making this sport entertaining for the rest of the world
      Eastern Europe also had a much bigger population..........lol.

            The legendary Varangian Rus' settled in the lands of current Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The descendants of the Rus' are the founders or Russia (it's in the name ffs) and the first tsardom of the Russian Empire.

            The ruling of the Rus' started with the Rus' Khaganate in the early middle ages and subsequently the conquest of Kiev, which was a slavic territory, all of them were originally slavic territories, the Rus' migrated there and the slavic tribes were conquered and assimilated, mixed with the Rus' with time.

            Therefore modern russians carry both Rus' and slavic genes

              I guess boxing isn't part of their sporting culture?

                Having in mind my previous post, do you think that I needed additional info on this issue?

                    It's a mystery and a tragedy. We need more of them in the sport.
