The beasts from the east- usyk, lomachenko, golovkin, beterbiev, kovalev

[Madison Boxing]

The changing landscape in boxing means that eastern europe is estabilishing itself as a powerhouse, with the success it has in the amatuers now translating to success in the pro's. Which fighter out of those listed do you feel is going to be remembered as the most successful? Will any of them be 'exposed' in the coming years? Or is there any other eastern european boxer who i havent mentioned that possesses the potential for greatness? Why is this region suddenly producing such a high calibre of boxers? Please discuss...

Idk where are you from but saying suddenly in this situation is not correct or Good,Former USSR have rich amatour boxing history and producent many medalist and great fighters,they just couldnt fight in USA during Cold War.Moscow is a capitol of former USSR boxing with best trainers.They wont dominate but they will be a force in boxing for sure.

The mexicans were supposed to take over
The puerto ricans were supposed to take over

Now

The Eastern Europeans are supposed to take over.

If YOUNG established boxing nations like Mexico and Puerto Rico can't take over...... then surely an OLD population of E Europeans ain't taking over shi.t.

He didn't say 'taking over' he said 'establishing itself as a powerhouse' which it kinda is - courtesy of a rich and successful amateur program dating back many years. Adapting to the pro game has taken a good while but I think with signings of the newer generation of successful amateurs by all the major US promoters, we'll be hearing plenty about guys with too many Ks and Vs in their names for the foreseeable.

Stalin put a ban on boxing making it illegal. Boxing wasn't legalized in that region until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1993.

Its not true unless you are talking about proffesional boxing,its true for China doe ,boxing was banned there,untill Deng Xiaoping unbanned it.

It was amateur boxing in USSR but they was fighting with no headgear and with normal gloves on championships,boxing was allways very popular in russian culture and from my knowladge it was never banned.
