Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Explains Why Eastern Europe is Surpassing America

It's not ridiculous, it's the truth. Keep being in denial though. If it was on a consistent decline we wouldn't of had the popular 90s. We're not dominating, other countries have adapted.


Let's keep putting the blame on NFL & NBA. Most of those guys wouldn't last, especially on the way their attitudes are. Always crying for the simplest shit. We don't need them in boxing. What we need is another Mike Tyson followed by a Holyfield and a Foreman type boxer kicking ass in the division. Watch how the sport springs back to life with ease. I've been a fan for over 25 years, I don't claim to know it all but this is pretty obvious for me to see.

You're right about kids in a way. Most of them are going into MMA gyms now. As they grow, they will get into MMA type of sports. Guess what?!?! In MMA, they pay you much less than boxing at the top.

Boxing was less popular in the 90s than it was in the 80s, which was less popular than the 70s. And it has continued decreasing in popularity throughout the years since the 90s. It has clearly been a steady decline.

No denial involved except the people who just want to hate on the American fight scene.
