Why are Eastern Europeans so good at boxing now a days

[kidbazooka]

I never said they all had to be Slavic. They still fall under the post-soviet training systems and schools that makes elite fighters. Khabib and Beterbiev see themselves as Russian

You like crotch sniffers lol

Gtfo here with that crotch sniffing crap.

This bum just said that eastern europeans can compete with African American boxers�� Lets go ahead and compare the greatest Eastern European Boxers of all time against the greatest African American boxers of all time.

Also the African American population is only 45 million compared to the 290 million eastern european population

Greatest Eastern European boxers:

Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, Lomachenko, Usyk, Dariusz Michalczewski, Sergey Kovalev, Kosta Tszyu(half korean), GGG(half korean), Alexander Povetkin, Sergey Kovalev and Nikolai Valuev.

Greatest African American boxers:
Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones Jr, Sugar Ray Leonard, Bernard Hopkins, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman.

Doesn't seem much of a contest

Soviet boxers couldnt go pro until 90s and E.Europeans still dominate more combat sports than A.Americans

It’s not a contest

And you only named a few of the African American greats lol

TS is a race baiter it’s beyond me why he hasn’t been banned yet.

Coming from the king of race baiting himself. My thread actually never started as such only responding to race baiters

Ezzard Charles, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Larry Holmes, Rid**** Bowe, Pernell Whitaker, Shane Mosley, Archie Moore,

what makes them so good, they seem to be on a roll recently. it seems like they came out of nowhere and have been doing amazingly well

are their training programs better, are they simply touger then western boxers... What is it

They also seem to be conditioned much better as well

I dont know what your definition of "good and "amazing" is. The fact that there is only 1 eastern european world champion(Mairis Breidis) in boxing when there are 300 million slavic people says it all. There are currently more world champion from nicaragua LMAO. Whose population is only 6.5 million compared to eastern europes 300 million.

Eastern Europeans are very mediocre at best in boxing.

Honestly it could be cultural. I'm a big basketball guy and in the U.S we are obsessed with athletics and being flashy, with basketball and boxing it seems like European pros tend to focus more on skills.

Kobe voiced that as far as basketball goes and for the most part our Olympic and amateur programs have not been very consistent compared to other countries.

Just my take from what I've noticed
