america can, doe. anybody who is familiar with contemporary american sporting culture intuitively understands the phenomenon.

i wonder where all of the talent went? it's a shame that the rest of the world can't compensate for the exodus of american talent.
Why is it the worst hw era, btw? There's lots of young talent out there. It's only the worst in your mind because the Klitschko's have been so superior and made opposition look so much less.

You are of the mindset that boxing is an athletic/raw power sport when boxing is actually a character driven sport. It is undeniable that Wilder got great power.. but to say he's a dime a dozen in the NBA is a joke. Look at that league.. you actually think Carmelo Anthony can do what Wilder do? The guy freaks at a elbow to the face .. how will he react to a punch? The entire NBA have maybe 3-4 players that could POTENTIALLY be great heavyweights.... the NFL have a bit more but not to the extent you are making it out to be.
Just because you can do a chicken dance after a touch down don't mean you can take a Lennox Lewis upper cut or a Wladimir right hand.
