American heavyweight prospects

[dan_cov]

Seriously what is up with American heavyweight prospects these days?

You have Deontay Wilder who is about 23-0 23KOs
You have David Rodriguez who is 36-0 34KOs
Malik Scott who is 34-0 11KOs


When or why aren't these guys facing anybody with a pulse? I don't think any guy has even fought a damn top 100 ranked heavyweight.

I just don't get it. They are in the business to make money why not step up and fight somebody for some good money instead of making a few dollars for fighting McDonalds assistants?

Around a 100-0 between them and the best fighter they've been matched with is probably Raphael Butler, a journeyman David Price KTFO in a single round.

Unbelievable, no wonder people say the H/W scene is dead.
