    Americans not dominating.

    Poppycock!

    Why? Best the Yanks have fallen out of love with it? Because their guys aint ruling the roost?

    From the country that gives us World Series and World Champions involving American teams only.

    I would say that the Klitschko's would probably be as dominant in any period, or at least have won a world title.

    I'm not so sure the Klitchsckos would be so dominant in any area, but they are good boxers.

    That said, the standard in the rest of the HW division appears to be at an all time low, even lower than in Tyson's prime.

    Chisora for example, what had he ever done to deserve a fight with Vitali?

    Briggs was long past his best. And so on.

    It's almost like they are taking them off the streets now.

    This is just an extension of several other threads where the topic has been beaten to death.

    Everybody has nailed their colours to the mast!
