    Media’s biase towards euro fighters.

    It’s so painfully obvious for example the ring magazine has guys like Usyk and Beterbiev ranked in the top 10 after beating avaerage guys yet LSC( who I’m no fan of)has wins over Frampton and Mares both better than any guy Usky and Beterbiev have beaten and he’s also been at the top of his division longer and has actually jumped weight classes yet he’s nowhere to be found in the top 10 p4p ranking smh

    And I think we all know why that’s the case.

    Maybe it’s because Leo Santa Cruz lost a fight and the two guys you mentioned haven’t?

      Ask Oscar why him and Golden Boy are biased towards Europeans then.

        Or maybe they score and grade based on skill and not race or creed. Why would a team of mostly American journalists, working for a company owned by a Mexican American, favor or show bias to Euro fighters? Maybe instead of bias, what you're seeing is an opinion you disagree with.

        I don't usually try to counter blind sided posts, because it's usually pointless - however i've just got my morning coffee and figured lets try

              Yes buddy, i'm flying out for what will be my first live boxing match I've been waiting and waiting for the right occasion, I nearly went over to see GGG vs Canelo #1 and quite glad I didn't! I'm not really a drinker either so the no alcohol policy doesn't bother me at all. I'll be sat in my seat from the moment the gates open

                The media is biased towards white fighters, not just Eastern Euros, but since Eastern Euros are the best white fighters at the moment they get all of the love.

                I mean the boxing media is probably 90% middle age to old white men so of course they’re going to value white fighters more.

                Usyk seems legit, but I definitely agree about Beterbiev. He definitely should not be in the Top 10 P4P discussion yet.

                  yeah and you biased against euros coz your mom and sister got broken by a bwc.

                  beterbiev shouldnt be in the top 10 at all, thats a joke. but usyk became a 4-belt champ, how dumb are you? other than you not knowing the names of the people he beat, how does that make them bad? because your usa mainstream boxing media didnt cover them? so, if the usa media hypes you up, then and ONLY THEN are you a good fighter?

                  you jelless of tha bwc, i know it, you know it, we all know it. stay mad little kid

                    I live in Europe and I do agree that Usyk is overrated as a HW boxer.
