I didn't want to say that, but, well, let me just put it this way: It's not 1970, that's for sure!
We are not Dude, and this is maybe answer why today HW are boring IMHO.
Once we had that reds amateur domination at Olympics, just to mention maybe even greater than Ali, Felix Savon or Teofilo Stevenson. But they were not allowed turn pro.
Ex. SSSR which Kličko, Valujev came from had great methods of recruiting and training boxers, it was free for them. Everything was payed.
Now independent countries continue sucha methods of recruiting.
So maybe this is answer why ex USSR fighters rules.
In other hand (maybe I am wrong) US black fighters has so many other options than living from boxing, and they era of making money from boxing is over, there is lot of other ways for doing it (football, NBA etc).
Do not get me wrong but I think boxing has something to do with poverty, black Dudes maybe lives better now, and there is no much to do with racism as before.
Off course great boxers come from all colours, and people who is running boxing are mainly responsible for today situation.
There is for sure some excellent black fighters from US, UK.
No one culd tell me that Kličko Bros are so great and dominating HW boxing for 10 years now, even Ali or Fraiser had some strugle to keep belt, and here Kličkos are fighting with some really mediocracy fighters.
I am just saying
P.S. We need big K.O., and not some points won fight, or technical K.O.
