The days of Dempsey,Tyson,Marciano, and Ali are long gone. There will never be another American heavyweight champion again for as long as we live because they have lost the hunger,amatuer background,heart, and toughness that made them great in this past century. The only piece left from the glory days is Evander Holyfield and sadly enough he may be the best American heavyweight right now. People are going to have to get used to the fact that White Eastern European Heavys are going to dominate for the rest of existence.

sam peter will knock wlad out, but hes nigerian so thats irrelevant -
Dont know if they will dominate for the rest of the existance, but yes right now US heavyweights are garbage..becuase all of the great US athelets choose other sports like Football or basketball. Where they can make more money without getting there heads bashed in. But America has produced the greatest boxers the world has ever seen hands down.Comment

Don't say never. Right now there is no one any good in the game; no one even in the remote regions of the game has a chance at making it, but don't say NEVER. That's some Larry Holmes ****, get above it. Right now maybe 15-6 of the top 20 are in fact Euros, kudos to those guys, but that could change in ten years. It won't change in five, but in ten it just might.Comment

Statements like this are proof that we don't understand much; America's problem is that it believes in its "athletes." But what does that mean? You think b/c a guy can shoot a basketball, he could fight if he wanted to. This couldn't be more wrong. You don't think they have other sports in other places?Originally posted by onetwopunch View Post
The Euros stepped up their boxing game, we stepped our down. For now. That's all there is to it.Comment

the fact that our heavyweight stars are probably in the NFL is a VERY relavant and TRUE statement.Originally posted by kayjay View Post
Why fight, when the odds are slightly better that ull make it in the NFL, and u'll definetly make a ton more money?
The ones that could have been major heavyweight stars, opted out of boxing and went into football.
its a very true statement, absolutely no doubt about thatComment

You'll get over this eventually; the top three today match the top three from most eras. Also, look at some of the contenders from other eras. You think Ali's competition was consistently outstanding? Most of those guys would be journeymen cruiserweights today.Originally posted by Kball15 View PostComment

I agree with him. Id say 6 or 7 rounds. Peters better, and he already nearly stopped Klitschko on several occasions in the first fightOriginally posted by WLAD OWNS View Post Please don't make me laugh bro, WLAD would OWN Peter worse in the rematch and probably Knock him out.
