    If Usyk loses is Eastern Euro Dominance over?

    GGG
    Kovalev
    Lomachenko

    If Usyk is the next domino to fall is it a wrap?

    ummm no

    the two best light heavies in the world are Beterbiev and Bivol (both Russian)

    Briedis is Latvian, the best cruiser in the world at the moment

    Golovkin still has a belt

    Eastern Euros don't **** with the midget weights that much so who cares about what they do under Middle weight

      Dunno but it would enforce the fact that the UK completely rules the HW division.

      If Del, Whyte & DDD win their upcoming fights, the rankings would arguably be


      1) Fury
      2) AJ
      3) Del
      4) Whyte
      5) DDD

          Not part of Eastern Europe:
          Kazakhstan.
          Russia.

          Usyk was born on Crimea. It was under Russian control at the time.

          And so was Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi at the time of Loma's birth.

          So actually none of them good be considered Eastern European.

            Eastern Europeans have never ever dominated professional boxing.

            They are doing well, and competitive 'But dominance? No'.

            Italians, Irish, African America's and blacks in general are pretty much the only demographics that have dominated the sport of boxing.

            Note: Eastern European's and Ireland seem to kind of had the same level of success 'I would not put Ireland on the same level of Italian American fighters or African American-Black fighters universally 'In terms of pure historical success'.

            But even still? Ireland probably continually in mass produces more top quality fighters than Eastern Europe.

            Eastern European fighters are doing well, and they will continue to do well 'I have just never really seen any dominance from them'.

              No-one dominates boxing, it is a global sport. How many divisions and how many belts are there? Some regions are over-represented in the lower weight divisions and some may be over-represented in the higher weight divisions, but no one region 'dominates' boxing anymore as it keeps growing and growing around the world. It isn't the UK vs USA anymore like it used to be just 30 years ago.

                Why such hate for good champion Eastern Europeans and who in the hell do you want to dominate boxing anyway???? GGG beat Canelo twice and got Vegas robbed twice and refused a third fight. GGG is still a world champion. No matter how Usyk does at heavyweight he proved himself to be the best cruiserweight in the world. Beterbiev and Bivol are by far the best at 175 and Bivol could drop to 168 and beat everyone there too.The best Eastern European boxers are as good as ever and that is pretty damn good so get used to it or not.I am an American boxing fan with no ties to eastern Europe. i just know if I think a boxer is good no matter where he comes from.

                    The UK rules heavyweights without a doubt. In my opinion the heavyweight division is weak and suks now. I think it is one of boxing's worst and weakest weight classes right now. Fury is the best of a very mediocre bunch.
