      Remember the Soviet Union?
      Well, these guys gave up after they saw Donald Hoskins's shadowboxing video, they were simply too scared to watch his fight video.

        01 - Wladimir Klitschko
        02 - Nikolay Valuev
        03 - Serguei Lyakhovich
        04 - Ruslan Chagaev
        05 - Alexander Dimitrenko
        06 - Oleg Maskaev
        07 - Sultan Ibragimov
        08 - Vladimir Virchis
        09 - Taras *****ko
        10 - Alexander Povetkin

        01 - Lamon Brewster
        02 - Hasim Rahman
        03 - Shannon Briggs
        04 - James Toney
        05 - Calvin Brock
        06 - Samuel Peter
        07 - John Ruiz
        08 - David Tua
        09 - Monte Barrett
        10 - Tony Thompson

        But I think the American boxers are - overall - much stronger. What do you think?
        You are correct about the issue of it doesnt matter where you from...But overall I disagree with you completely in regards to who is stronger...I is obvious that the Russians are stronger being that the have all the belts...you have the belts then you are the man....

          I also heard Vitali Klitschko retired because Hoskins was his mandatory if he defeated Rahman.

            Why do people still use the "Soviet" term? Someone already pointed out that the term is obsolete.

            Why do we always compare fighters from their respective countries and not by who they are as a boxer? Whenever someone does this it seems like they want to start something.

              I think Vitali knew that Hoskins was coming for his belt after the Rahman fight so that's why Vitali injured himself on purpose.

                  I was born in the USSR, so I am Soviet; Soviets are people who were born in the USSR.
