Obviously Eastern Europe produces some very good fighters but they have to prove so little compared to their peers, they get a free pass to the front of the line.
You'd think they learn by now but it's a constant cycle that goes on and on.
Examples:
Bute-Best win was Andrade, got ranked on some people's P4P lists even ahead of Ward who was coming off the S6 tournament. Badly exposed by Froch.
Kovalev-Best win was a 50 year old Hopkins & Pascal, got ranked in the P4P lists, was supposed to destroy Ward, wound up getting destroyed himself.
ggg-Supposedly spars with HWs, "forced" Froch into retirement, "ducked" by Ward, supposed to DESTROY Canelo but wound up getting walked down, bruised, and bloodied by the 5'7 career super welter/jmw.
Usyk (the next guy to be exposed at HW)-Supposed to beat the top heavies like Wilder, AJ, Ortiz, etc. and toy with Bellew, yet was down on all the cards to a 35 year old that hadn't made cruiser in 2 years.
