now the election is over, and the united states has a president aiming to turn a great country back to its former glory, it is now just as important to work out how to turn american boxing back to its former glory. HAving previously been the superpower of boxing for many years, american fighters are not really known on the world stage any more or significant pound for pound attractions , with the upcoming kovalev v ward fight a symbol of this, with a lack of interest in a fight with arguably americas most highly rated fighter. In addition to this, the amateur sysem has fell behind many other countries, with the united states not winning a gold medal in 12 years. So how does america estabilsh itself as the dominant force in boxing once again? And why has its fortunes suffered in recent years?
make american boxing great again!

if boxing really wants to get back into the big leagues it needs some top american fighters. Seen as las vegas is the fight capital of the worldComment

yeah i agree, i think that would be my number one priority for improving the boxing fortunes in america. No doubt theres some talented fighters there but matching them against bums on PBC isnt going to get people interested in themComment

I might support American boxers again.
Before last night, supporting anything remotely American meant supporting transvestites, ***, etc.
Now it's OK for a normal respectable man to support American fighters. I will get used to this brave new world.Comment

I am glad an outsider won. I don't like royal families and political dynasties like the Bushes and the Clintons. Hilary becoming president after her husband was already president is BS to me. What be next? One of the Clinton kids being president. Trump is a great business man. Maybe he will run our government like a successful business instead of the most wasteful government imaginable. I enjoy owning rifles and revolvers and Trump is as good for us gun owners as Clinton would have been bad. At first I was worried about Trump being president and he is far from perfect. Still I think the country will be better off with a complete change. Hilary winning would have been almost like another 4 or 8 years of *****'s rule.Comment

I think there are like 9 American champions at the moment.
Americans are so used to greatness that they don't even boast about it. Other countries have 2 - 3 champions and they're already taking about takeovers. Americans fighters always seem to find their way on top.Comment
