I answered your question bruh, you just don't like the answers.

"but FIRST you have to ask HEY do you follow Boxing..if they say YES then ask the question"

Of course a follower of the sport would know. An NBA fan would know who Draymond Green

"Truth is there hasn't been an American Heavyweight Champion in a long ass time who was the last one...Holyfield? Tyson? Lewis wasn't from here so Whom was it"

Not true Charles Martin was American

Then i posted the American heavy weight champs not named Tyson and Holyfield.


Deontay Wilder is not as big as some of yall think he is. That's why Tyson made that Video. Wilder his camp any many people on YT said he's not getting the fame and the respect he deserves in multiple videos. That's why he can walk down a street and not be recognized as the heavy weight champ.

Before Wilder won the WBC belt in 2015 over Stiverne, I think it had been a 9 year drought with Shannon Briggs being that last American HW Belt Holder in 2006. That drought has for sure been the worst state of American HWs in the 100+ years

It's the sport in general. Boxing just isn't as big as it once was. I can probably name several champs that could walk into a crowded mall and walk/shop amongst regular folk without being recognized.

But I will say this, if Wilder were white, I guarantee he'd be hyped as one of, if not the greatest heavy of all time.

If Wilder was white he would have Shaq's level of endorsements. Maybe not that much but he would be up their lol.

Agreed. The last decent white heavyweight was Tommy Morrison, and he was co-starring in movies before he had accomplished anything as a pro. The US doesn't and has never fully supported black fighters (other than when we're fighting against foreigners ie Louis vs Schmeling or when we're in the olympics.)

Tommy Morrison was the last White American HW champ in 93. The current best White American HW is Adam Kownacki if you count him since he came from Poland when he was like 7 yrs old or something. Tommy Morrison's son Trey Lippe Morrison a college football washout from Central Arkansas is the only other White American HW that could potentially be a contender when he steps up his competition. Theres a lot of good white boxers but they consist mainly of Eastern Euros or from the UK. White American Boxers are at an all time low, it's kinda like the NBA situation. Even in the lower weight classes, Paulie and Kelly Pavlik were the last white american boxers that were good. Currently, there's Joe Smith whos got heavy hands at 175 but there are way too many killers at 175 that'd beat him. There's Caleb Plant at 168 who needs to step up his competition. And then there's Chris Algieri back outa retirement but is just too pillow fisted to win a title

If you're a black american boxer and want to make money and sell you have to play the heel, you can't play the face you won't make any money since White America wont be behind you. Floyd had to figure that out in his 30s, I seen Floyd's greatness in his 20s but he couldn't get the big purses and it wasn't because of his boxing skills, he just hadn't turn heel yet.

A lot of White Americans don't watch boxing anymore since they don't see the champs that they can relate to and it attacks white masculinity, that's why WWE is so popular in the south especially them redneck towns. Since Pro Wrestling is choreographed and they get to write who the winners are they can always see the White champs there that represent white masculinity, your Brock Lesnars, John Cenas, Randy Ortons, before them Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg, Hogan, etc.

I see it right now. The refs are going to screw this Gvozdyk dude. He already dropped Stevenson once and the ref didn't count it. These rounds are extremely close.

I'm so glad Stevenson lost.
He sat on the WBC title all those years never fighting his mandatory.
Not fighting Kovalev or Ward when the fights were ripe.
Glad he's finally out of the picture.

Man me too. I usually root for the brother in the competition but I've BEEN waiting for this cat to get off that bet.

He never fought in the US neither. Heard he had some tax issues or some strange shit going on.

Wilder should knock this fucker out. I don't understand why Fury is hyped, I've only seen him a couple of times and he looks horrible, completely uncoordinated and nonathletic. He scraped by a faded Klitscko in the worst title fight ever. I think he only gave him problems because his unorthodox style fucked with him. I watched when he got dropped by Cunningham, a cruiserweight, and a couple of other fights where he didn't look impressive. He flicks his jab, pushes his right hand and crosses his feet all the time, just horrible.

Heavyweights? Yea, but definitely not in the cruiser division and below.
