When did the Eastern myth start?

[Commie]

Eastern Euros have great genetics for fighting. Cardio is the most important thing when it comes to fighting and all those ripped black guys have terrible cardio. You can see which type of athleticism is superior in fights like Froch vs Taylor. Look at Usyk, Golovkin and Provodnikov and the insane pace that they are able to fight at without tiring.

It's no coincidence that Eastern Europe is also home to the greatest animal on the planet the brown bear which represents the same power, explosiveness and endurance combination as the typical Eastern Euro fighter. A bear can run at top speed for miles while African cheetahs get tired quickly.

Quit the Animal nonsense please
Former communist countries have produced a great base of physical Education and Sports Science
That scientific approach included boxing- whereas the capitalists considered boxing more of a low life sports.

That Science is the base
Then you have the poverty to make people want busting each other up for money
And of course some old warrior spirit still lives in eastern europe especially the slavic part

I never heard of that most ppl know Latinos dominate boxing

Latinos are nothing in the most relevant divisions (the big divisions), except Ramirez.

All of a sudden, there was this weird myth that Eastern Europeans were taking over boxing. What started that myth?

When old fat Lewis knocked prime Vitali's head open?
When Joshua knocked out Wladimir?
When little Haye smacked giant Valuev around?
When Crawford traumatised and retired Postol?
When Jacobs got robbed after outboxing Golovkin?
When Ward schooled Kovalev twice and made people whine?
When Bradley defeated Provodnikov?
When Easter defeated Shafikov?
When Indongo destroyed Troyanovski in 1 round?

Seriously, I don't see it, I just don't see it. I love Eastern Europe. They are great people, great to have a party with, sexy women as well. They are also very intelligent. So don't take this for hatred or anything. But honestly, they were never the dominant force in boxing. Blacks are, have always been and will always be... It's genetics, man, hating it won't change it.

Jacobs didn't get robbed against GGG, who is not Eastern European by the way.

I think Easterners were just celebrating having a few champions which they probably hadn't had before but real boxing fans knew these guys weren't what they were claimed to be. The fighters know the truth. It was just a matter of time before they had to face some very good fighters and needless to say they would be found wanting.

I don't really care about racism and stuff on a boxing forum, I mean we watch people bust each other's heads in - but man I got banned for racism for saying "another Juan bites the dust - BUILD THE WALL!" ironically, when a Mexican-American was busted for child **** or something.

Not saying you should get banned by the way, I just find it funny how the mods work here.

Talks of genetic superiority = not racism or banworthy.
Slight ironic joke about a criminal that involves politics and a nation / nationality = BAN THIS SCUM!

It's like we have Hillary Clinton's buddies at CNN doing the moderation on here

Love boxing too much to worry about what nationality or race is dominating it. Stick to pure boxing, none of that other stuff.
