Russia and Ireland in some ways have nothing in common.
In others lots.
Nice to see the Russians not take any crap off some of these corrupt, incompetent Irish politicians and diplomats at the moment in some UN thing as well. Go get them Russia. Don’t take any **** off them either. They are all talk. Put them to the test. See if some of these corrupt Irish cronies — politician — civil servants are for the people. Like they profess to be.
In boxing fans’ history and fight fans’ history Ireland and Russia have obviously produced a lot of fight fan favorites.
For sure.
Who were the best two ever?
Difficult call.
Ranking all-time best fighters always a bone of contention among all us fight fans surely.
Look no one gets it right all the time.
But us boxing fans and fight fans alike enjoy it over the years.
It makes the sport more interesting.
Boxing is our bread and butter of course on here as boxing fans first and foremost.

Fight fans just enjoy good fights at the end of the day.

Fedor a considerable boxer in MMA too. The best Russian ever.

But three things in their fighting really stand out if you go back and watch their fights.
In their unrivalled primes.
- Ability to stay composed almost to an unflappable extent. Calm in the heat of battle personified. Unmovable. No flinching with rocket punches flying past their heads:
2. David vs Goliath-like willingness to fight adversaries perceived as much stronger and bigger than them:
3. Work ethic.
