the recent american dominance over the sport?

[TMTForever99]

HBO can hype these foreign fighters but they can't make them great fighters.

that is so true

and what the hell happened to Argentina. sergio, lucas, maidana. no other fighters sprung out. chaves was very underrated and at the top of to chart but went un noticed. argentina was producing heavy hitters too.

next saturday Brian Castaño fights Michel Soro in france. that's our biggest hope. imo he has a lot of potential.

Not seeing it. There is still a decline and as another poster mentioned, one-third as many Americans on the p4p list as a decade or two ago.

I think there was such a long period of total desolation in American boxing that people are going gaga over the slightest thing.

It's not that big of a deal. Hell I don't even think I'd watch boxing if it was still just domestic rivalries and 'mysterious' overseas guys nobody ever got around to fighting. Those were lame days.

Depends on the division and the amount of television coverage.

I still think the sport is still a mixed bag

yeah pretty much

Divisions without top American fighters have a harder time attracting large American attention, which might skew less informed fans' perception of how Americans are doing in the sport.

But you consider it across all divisions and Americans are still not doing nearly as well as they once were.

recent? When didn't they dominate?

[Earl-Hickey]

It's not really dominating but a couple of guys have stepped up.

At the top end of the sport america will always have at least a couple of truly elite fighters because they teach their fighters all round skills and create complete fighters

you look at other countries and they are usually pretty one dimensional, they may be amazing at that one dimension, but adaptable fighters will always rule in the end. Thats what america is great at creating, they understand the game better than anyone else.

Brook-spence was a great example at this, i knew brook would lose

he has that "ingle style" where they teach flashy **** but there isn't that much substance, it's abc boxing with a bit of switching and that's about it. It's a **** style that has been exposed many times

spence has all round skills and ability to adapt. Once he did he beat the **** out of brook with his "ingle style"
