But anyway most people make up excuses when they lose.
I wana focus on one paticular person who a NFL star Eddie chambers, he seems to be the only one from the Nfl or basket ball sports to make it this far.
But anyway he barely ranked in the top 15 of 2day heavyweight but is definantely climbing up the ladder but once he get in the ring withand I mean even with the weakest russian fighter, there is no doubt he gona get thrashed so I really suggest these rest of american sports to stick at their soft high paid sport because the hunger for money is not enough to become a world champion even when the division is weak.
It when hasim rahman got knocked out but oleg maskaev the 2nd time he even said the reason why the american are finish is because the fight for the money, They need somenone like Ali a good muslim who fight for glory, fight for black people, muslim people, good people and etc.
Not some clown who fight until he washed up
There talent all over the world but in the third word country and devloping country, they find it soo much tougher trying to become heavyweight champion, because they probably don't have any boxing gym where ever the from or they gym does not have the full equipment or if they have great potential to be a heavyweight champion, there no person the to bring him forward or tell him, motivate him, plus in these kind of country people work all day just to survive, yes and even the kids.
The american always have had advantage in boxing because it was invented there, they wre more likely to get a shot at the title, anyway as boxing was spreading in usa first but then spreaded in the rest of the world, the truth was that lewis took on the whole america and am sick of hearing people saying the russian wiped the america of fighting because it was actually lennox who conquer all the america and when he retired, the russian continued to stay on top.
But I don't think the american should give up because the've got the greatest fighter of all time like Muhammed ali.
But I will say the russian deserve more credit for being world champion because of the extra difficult they have to go through becoming a world champion.
The Russians as well as other east europeans haved lived in hardship and with some of the harshest conditions that mother nature had to offer but yet they flourished. For thousands of years they survived(get tough or die) ,and now that the iron curtain has fell they are finding an easy way to make a good life and it's in the ring and the greatest may be yet to come.I hope I don't piss anyone off but I admire these people.
