Fighters From Europe Are really overrated

There are many such as Amir Con, Murray ( always knew had didnt have a snowball's chance in hell against Mitchell ) and Kessler. Nathan Cleverly, not sure what to make of him yet but The Black Russian is better and would beat him imo.

Amir Khan is the most overrated fighter ive seen in the past 5 years or so..

How can u say naz wasnt elite?! he was around along time and didnt duck anyone, had alot of fights against top oppostion johnson, kelly, medina etc, naz only got beat once against mab who was probly the best about, morales got beat by mab would you not class morales as elite?! As for hatton again why not elite? He again boxed alot of top guys and again never ducked anyone infact he always chased the best, ok he got blasted by a top form pacman, but hatton put up a good fight against mayweather and the ref was up floyds arse! Hatton only got beat by the best two fighters on the planet, no shame in that! and i dont think that should take anything away from his career/legacy

Although this was a blatant wind-up thread aimed at Brits, it is kind of ironic that six years later a bunch of Eastern Europeans are considered among the very best fighters in the world.

Wlad
Golovkin
Kovalev
Lomanchenko

With a bunch right behind them

Beterbiev
Postol
The entire Cruiserweight divison

All bums, just lucky they came around after America stopped trying to produce good boxers.

Karaganda is far past the Ural mountains. That is not Eastern Europe.(GGG)

And Semey Kazakstan is far past the Urals as well(Wladimir)

Kopeysk is East of Urals(Kovalev)

So 50% of the list is accurate.

The klitschkos are just born in the weird places due to their fathers millitary career, I would say they still have to count as ukranians and therefore eastern europeans, wladimir isnt a kazak and vitali isnt from Kyrgyzstan just because they were born there. Bruce willis was born in germany after all.

So if where you were born is irrelevant how exactly do you define where a person is from? Please be specific because I always thought it was rather simple but apparently not

Lots of very talented Ukrainian and Russian fighters coming up:

Gvozdyk
Ponomarev
Spyrko
Baranchyk
Gassiev
Magomedov
Bivol
Salamov
Tedeev
Bektemirov
Khytrov
Derevyanchenko

Nonsense, poppycock, claptrap, balderdash, silliness, folderol, hooey, and stupidity!

well i would say where their parents are from is a rather big one and where they lived a lot of their life.... where you are born is the mostly irrelevant factor in my opinion, do you really consider someone like Bruce Willis to be german? The football player rio mavuba was born at sea, where is he from then :S

Fighters from the hospital are highly underrated, seems like almost all of the great champs were born there.
