Is this right? 3 of the 4 current champs are Russian and the 4th was a Russian who retired because he was hurt? Don't make me start boxing... Come on America!

Americans have become softer, life has become easier even for the poor.
Big money can be earned from other sports and the rest are lazy fat F..ks

You only hav to look at amatuer boxing and the poor showing by Americans
in the Olympics/world championships in previous years.Poorer regions like Asia,eastern europe are steadly picking up more and more medals,cos life is
harder

I agree with that...but there is enough talent to extend into boxing. Besides, they're kicking our ass in basketball now too. We certainly have more athletic basketball players than anyone else in the world. Unless Africa comes out of their mud huts and starts playing we should own!

It is the truth, why make $5000 a fight when you can make 2 million a year. Give it time, the Americans will dominate the HW division again soon.

I agree, as a kid I loved the HW division but now I see that the 130-160 weight classes rule.....those little guys are more athletic and more devoted to the sport.
