    Heard of Joel Embiid?

    You lot are weirdos when it comes to this topic.

    I'm not making excuse for the poor quality of heavyweights, which is what I think you lot are believing.

    On the contrary. I'm just pointing out the reality that, why would a person choose to get punched in the face if they can do something else and make as much money doing it?

    But now, please do keep talking about how you have to be good at something, when in reality, you just have to have a strong interest and desire to do it, then know people who know people.

      How come all these talented basketball players grow so big though? What if Lebron or Jordan had stopped growing at 5 10 they could have the same talent but wouldn't be the same player.

      It's amazing how the most talented players also seem to have the genetic propensity to grow very tall.

        just like there'd be a ton more euro guys like mayweather had they not went into soccer right?
        Lol exactly. They never consider the flip side. HW is automatically trash because of a lack of Americans then Heavyweights eras of the past were trash because of lack of genuine international competition.

          Two guys are fighting tonight Kenzie Morrison vs Rahman Jr on FITE T.V App .

          Would be interested in this fight but asking price of $30 for a sub par card with two guys not made a name yet after the Fury fight is a no no for me .
