    Of course he would. Joshua is one of the top 3 heavyweights in the game right now. Jared is not fighting anyone in the top 5 any time soon. That would be total nonsense.

      Joshua would knock him out now? What. Of course Joshua would knock him out now. Unless this was meant as an insult to AJ or something.

        Yeah, we saw that with Wilder in the most extreme way. I don't want another freak show like we got with that clown.

        Anderson has voiced how he's not cut out for this. I'll take his word for it. Forget Bob promoting him and just trying to make as money as he can from him.

          Once again (and seemingly again and again and again…) once American big athletes from lower income families (or broken families) saw they could make more in basketball and grid iron football, and get bachelors degrees out of universities, and make guaranteed millions without having to deal with promoters and shady characters that is what ended American dominance of the heavyweight division. Would be American light heavyweights and up are in nfl football and the nba. They are receivers, defensive ends, power forwards, and shooting guards. Anyone who doesn’t get that just isn’t an American and their opinion on the matter is completely and utterly uneducated.

            Speak for yourself. But what is this addressing? The US hyping anyone they can get their hands on? Who the hell did the UK and China hype that was on the levels of Wilder and Anderson? China hasn't said much of anything regarding Zhang. As with the UK, the only one i could say was hyped where they didn't go anywhere, was David Price. But i understood the talk as he was knocking everyone bandy legged when he was coming up. However, the US hyped him as well with them calling him the biggest prospect in the sport on ESPN. Once we found out about him, the talk stopped. Unlike with Wilder where they're still hyping the fraud after everything about him has been exposed.

              The UK had the whole of the 90's and early 2000's with Lennox. The UK is still in it now and has been for nearly 10 years. What are you talking about? Don't forget who ended the Klitschko reign as well. All this with a population 1 5th of yours. If we had your population, we would dominate it at all times. Unlike you.

              Ruiz isn't Mexican either. He's American.

                Yeah, all the other weight classes aren't dominated by the US because they're all Jockey's and Skiers. Absolutely. We'd all be in serious trouble if that wasn't the case.

                  People don't get into sports as kids because it might make money someday, its always been a silly argument since nothing about any country is special nor are the people in it.
