I really liked J.B.Cash's article on boxing.I do think that Eastern Europeans will rule the heavyweight class.I was in Russia a few years ago and the standard of living is below the US and Western Europe.Picture a high rise apartment in Moscow with a strong young man just out of the Russian Army living with his mother-his dad dead-not much in the ice box-little vodka some cabbage and you tell him all he has to do is put on boxing gloves and win,then tonight there will be heat in the apartment and some meat for dinner-he's going to be a tough man to beat.I don't care if the Champ is Russian,Irish,German,American just as long as he's white. Vitali is the best in the world right now-just how good he is we don't know but when he retires there are plenty of others from Eastern Europe to take his place.If we are waiting for white Americans named Billy,Jimmy or Bobby to rule in boxing we may be in for a long wait- but if you don't mind your white fighters being Ivan,Igor and Boris the future looks bright!
