Well, of course. But I would be curious to see your statistics. Not that I don't believe you, I just find it interesting and something I was unaware of until you brought it to my attention.
I've never thought I would see the day when the HW division would be taken over by Eastern European Boxers. The U.S. was the Mecca for such a long time when it comes to producing top-tier HW's. Now there is not a soul on the horizon - that I can see anyway - who will bring the belts back where they belong.
However, I've given up on the HW division and find the Middleweight, Welterweight and Jr. Welterweight divisions to be the most interesting, exciting divisions.
All that being said, I will thoroughly enjoy Wladdy punishing that loud mouth punk Haye. I just hope he keeps him in the ring long enough to give him the thorough spanking that he has coming to him.
