      The difference here is, I respect European fighters, but European people don't respect American fighters.

        LOL... the difference is you're trying to be a "clever" troll. In truth, you don't respect anyone but your own.

          Froch has a great resume with victories against guys like Kessler, Pascal, Bute, Abraham, etc., I got nothing bad to say about Froch, he's a warrior.

            I'm afraid I have to disagree with you.

            Deontay has not taken over s division dominated by wlad. But he will likely be the king was wlad retires I reckon.

            Cruiser and light heavy don't have much in the way of american champs right now.

            You can't say that ward is dominating super Middle when he hasn't fought in a year and a half. Dirrell is debatable but right now Froch is the main man at 168.

            Peter "I was being outboxed by rosado" Quillin is cuban not american.

            At light middle lara and Alvarez seem to be dominated but Andrade looks good so far.
            Welterweight you have mayweather and thurman, but that division is stacked with more foreign talent than american.

            Danny isn't dominating ***** at 140 when he's fighting non title fights and fighting salsa while refusing yo rematch herrera.

            Crawford I'm a fan of but he isn't dominating at all. He never cleaned out 135 and we don't know what he's like at the higher weights.

            Mickey bey is the only relevant american in the lightweight division right now.

            And america is virtually nonexistent in the division below that.

            So tell me again how america is starting to take back boxing?

              No; America is not, nor will it ever again be "the country where you have to fight in" to prove yourself.

              That era has long past.

              Boxing is now a true international sport, with the best fighters being distributed throughout the world.

                  Since when were Americans a 'race'? Not to mention that the only real Americans are Native Americans and I don't see too many of them boxing.

                    Black people represent American boxing, so to hate American boxers is to hate black people.

                      At heavyweight, Deontay Wilder is the king when Wladimir retires (Wilder could probably even give him a little push into retirement if a bomb lands on the Ukrainian glass jaw).

                      At cruiserweight and light heavyweight, they haven't taken over yet.

                      At super middleweight, Ward and the Dirrell Bros. are just levels above the rest, pure American dominance, although it's a bit too early to rank Anthony yet.

                      At middleweight, we don't know. Why are so many people so sure that Golovkin would beat Quillin? Quillin got more skills and power than anyone Golovkin has fought and look how often Golovkin got hit against Murray and how it made him pick a soft opponent right after (Willie Monroe) in order to regain some confidence in his skills. Right now, Golovkin most likely rules, but not surely. If we can call this division Golovkin's territory, we might as well also call it Quillin's territory.

                      Light middleweight, welterweight, you name, the smaller weights are absolutely dominated by American fighters like Mayweather, Broner, Crawford, etc. Floyd schooled Canelo the LMW king.
                      Ward has been slacking, and Dirrell beating Edwards doesn't impress me. Both Dirrell bros still have something to prove. DeGale and Groves are also in the process of proving themselves, and Froch is still in the mix. SMW is wide open right now.

                      Quillin and Jacobs are the only notable American MWs, and their inactivity and opposition quality is hurting them.

                      LMW has numerous American fighters, and WW has more American fighters at the top than other division I can think of.
