Floyd is 0-1 against Eastern European fighters

Lol...lol...lol

Best describes this thread.

Europe is a cultural and racial thing. Those countries don't belong into European sphere, except for that 4 million strong Slavic minority in Kazakhstan.

Floyd beat some guy name Bakhtiyar. A guy with such name has as much connection to Europe as Julius Indongo.

That's true, Europe isn't even a proper continent, it's actually a part of Asia and it's borders are ideologically determined. It's actually a Christian-dom.
Kazakhstan is a Turkish country located in the heart of Central Asia.
Due to assimilation policies of Russians Turcic tribes were mixed into the Slavic population but continued their names if not the languages, like Bahtiyar-oglu, Bahtiyarov.

Actually, USA isn't the whole world. The world doesn't revolve around the USA. Claiming Las Vegas is the Mecca of boxing is your opinion and not an objective fact!

You're assuming that elite boxers can't exist if they don't compete at Las Vegas or USA. That's false!

The best boxing fights happen in Las Vegas. UK had a great one with Joshua and Klit, but large majority of Top fights not only happen in US...almost always Las Vegas.

It is the mecca of boxing for now

Floyd was lucky that he didn't face any elite Eastern European pros when he was coming up. That style of boxing is all wrong for him.

The mediocre Serafim Todorov was causing him all kinds of problems and beat him.

1-1 vs Jose Luis Castillo too

That doesn't change the fact that he predominantly faced domestic level opponents. Boxing against and defeating a few non-American opponents doesn't change this fact!

It does matter where the bouts took place in. Simply because of the fact that boxing at one's home country is more advantageous for the home / local boxer than the foreign boxer. A better feat is to beat opponents in a neutral location. Even better than that is to beat opponents in their own backyard / home location.

Then why do foreign fighters travel to America to fight? You know why, here is where the money is to be made. Vegas has some of the lowest tax rates in the entire world so fighters travel to Vegas to make as much money as they can. Vegas is the fight capital of the world which is why Floyd fought most of his big fights there.

Plus it's not like fighters have never been robbed in their own countries or were subject to unfair judging. Floyd fought the biggest names while they were reigning and defending world champions and won. And that's what matters.

:gay:

You're the typical ignorant euro trash mongoloid. You watch some news and think every American is an idiot. I actually have a very high level of education. Deans List for a few years actually. You're a twit and I wouldn' expect a twit to want to engage with a mastermind like myself and feel normal.

Quit talking out of the side of your neck and keep it moving Chumlee.

It's funny when Americans are speaking to me about education when the university where I studied is older than your pathetic country.

The atmosphere in Las Vegas is like on a funeral. It's much better when the fights take place in Britain or Russia with crowds chanting or the spectacular Klitschko entrances in Germany.

America is one of the most boring countries in the world. I will never travel there. What the hell is there to see in America? No historic buildings, nothing.

It would be much better for boxing if all the big fights would take place in Europe, Japan or Latin America. Those countries have passion for big sport events.

Right now Britain is the Mecca of boxing. American fighters have to travel to Britain to make a name for themselves like Errol Spence. Even in the Rocky movie Creed they had to travel to Britain.

I'm not a big fan of Britain but it's a fact that they're now the place to be when it comes to boxing.
