Latest Lists

Do some fans realize that once USA won't be a super power anymore, lists of the GOAT will change?

Next day after the so called "empire" (thanks to Hitler who ruined Europe's domination of centuries) all these American based lists not just in boxing, but from comedy and science to literature and business, lists of the most beautiful people or most beautiful cities and so on, such as ESPN's and Ring Magazine's when it comes to boxing, that many peeps in here use as a valid argument to claim American or racial supremacy on the sport, will change dramatically and peeps like Ali, Greb or Robinson etc will be replaced by the ones who will rule the economy and business world (China most likely) and USA won't be able to organize boxing parties in Las Vegas anymore and the capital of capitalism and such shows will be Beijing or Moscow etc? Some delusional and not well educated people, might call this a racist or anti-American post, while it's plain logic and history (check what happened to way greater empires of the past as Greece, Rome, England, France or even USSR, tell me where is their power now) Do you realize that ESPN and Ring Magazines lists have no value at all and one day will be smashed like a tower made by sand ? Do you realize that Olympic medals and boxing titles will always matter more than anything else ? :) Do you realize that once China takes over and the ring magazine which now might sale 4 million copies in USA, will the be named "Tsi Liun" magazine (i pulled off this name out of nowhere i admit lol) and will sale 40 million copies inside Chinese market and Chinese will name Manny Pacquiao or fellow Asians as Fighting Haranda, Galaxy and so on the greatest boxers of all time only so they can keep their "clients" happy? What American guy of the ones we have in here would buy Ring Mag if it featured 90% of the time boxers like Manny, Calzaghe or Klitschkos? None to few is the answer,these lists it's pure business really! I hope some guys are smart enough to see what i am saying here! Alex,so you believe if Rome which lasted almost 500 years, or England or Ancient Greece could fall, USA will never fall, will always be the most powerful nation of the world?This what you say? Isn't 70% of the money inside American economy today, money Americans should return to China my friend?Am i mistaken?

1. China will never be a super power over America.America still has the largest economy in the world and China is a far second.America has the most billionaires in the world.Our military is far superior then a starving N.Korea and a half starving Chinese military. PPV sales are the highest in the U.S.Simply because Americans have the highest GDP.As long as America has control of the internet,block buster movies and Las Vegas then things will remain the same. I personally like any elite boxer regardless of color.But if the boxer is American and/or a hometown fighter then it makes me like the boxer even more. I have learned a lot from you about many European boxer's that i wasn't aware of.I ignore the days when you rant.Oh! by the way.Chinese are elite racist.They would never honor Manny as you say.Been to China three times and i live in S.East Asia.
2. You are one sick, twisted bastard. USA will always be THE super power you Hitler loving piece of garbage.
3. If you look at the 10 p4p list, Only two are Americans. 3 are from Asia and 4 are from Latin America and one is from Europe. Americans used to dominate the p4p rankings but where are they now. Manny Pacquaio is the best fighter today and Wladimir and Vitali Klistchko rules the heavyweight division where the Americans have been used to ruling. China won the most gold in the last olympics. China will have a bigger economy than the US in about 10 years and they have more economic surplus than the bankrupt US economy who owes so much money to China. Argentina beat the US in basketball before. Europeans and Latinos rule the most popular sport, soccer. I love the U.S, I live here, but facts are facts.
4. Prodigy, Absolutely correct, in my opinion that is. The whole fight scene in America has changed in lets just write for argument sake the past 15 years. Some of the top American fighters have become lazy. Some American fighters are strictly about the $$$$$! Some American fighters don't take tough fights. With this written, let me tell you that something has happened across the pond,most fighters have changed their whole technique, there's no more of this stand up fighter with no head movement and their left hand almost completely stretched straight measuring their opponent up. There's great foot work, head movement and all around great ring generalship by most European fighters, their transformation has been American fighters worst nightmare and besides all of this let me write to something else, Fighters from across the pond are just more hungry than fighters over here. Fighters from Europe are like fighters from the 30's, 40's and 50's here hungry and willing to fight the best fighters out there for half of the pay and none of the glory. Thanks for the question Prodigy.
5. so we brothaz going to be slaves again? :'(
6. It seems that only Americans think they are still a super power. The rest of the world knows USA is way past their ""use by" or "best before" date. USA ceased to be a superpower after 911. USA economy is on edge of collapse, standard of living is decreasing, your country can longer win a war, you have lost the respect of world leaders....
