Rocky Balboa...

LOL comment section is crazy, per usual. Funny thing is coming from a bunch of overweight dudes, typing with their fried chicken greasy fingers lol. Most of ya won’t accomplish 1/8 of what that man had accomplished in his life.

Cong**** Wilder!! Continue to inspire your community.

Exactly! The guy did a hell of a lot for someone who started late in the game. Fury is a freak of nature and there is no shame in losing to him!

Rumor has it that they are constructing a statue in England for Anthony Joshua. Mostly bronze except that the jaw is glass!

I say this legitimately, as a guy who is an all-star athlete - if you count my 3rd placed finish in the last arm-wrestling fete at the local old people’s home, pie eating contests, and high tempo typing in comments’ sections wearing nothing but cum-encrusted boxers - but Wilder ain’t achieved ****.

That is actually a phenomenal piece of work. Most sculptures look **** all like who they ostensibly rep

The heart also let's be honest

In all seriousness, imagine being from the back end of nowhere, being distinctly average at a sport and then winning an Olympic medal for it, becoming world champion, staying undefeated for 15 years, then getting a statue?

I’m not saying wilder’s any good, or faced anyone half-decent, but he’s overachieved, and I don’t begrudge anyone who “makes it” (as long as they didn’t already start with a huge advantage).

Yeah I'm not the biggest wilder fan in the world but this a guy who didn't make it in basketball a sport he played from young to then turn over to boxing at 19 why driving a coca cola truck for a living to try and support his disabled daughter to then win a bronze medal at the Olympics have ten world title defenses (yeah the opposition was so so) and make millions of dollars even in the fury fights he got beat up in. He did a lot for a guy who only ever had one weapon in his arsenal and regardless of what we think of him as a person his fights always were exciting for that reason and he changed his familys life gotta respect that even if you don't respect him as a man

Too bad they aren't announcing that they are building a life-size statue of Tyson Fury in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Could you imagine if they did that? Ultimate troll.
