Boots is a great fighter, but why doesn`t America have such a guy in higher divisions?

Interesting.
So, when exactly did Boxing become a worldwide sport?

started in the early 90s then with internet becoming more mainstream U.S boxing promoters can't simply sweep quality fighters from other countries under the rug.

I noticed that there were two upcoming American decorated amateurs at light heavyweights.

But Dante Benjamin has shown limited skill along with stamina issues at ProBox.

Khalil Coe who just got upset recently, is a pretty good amateur, quite a sharp counter puncher with punching power, he had won in a amateur tournament Cup in Germany. He was also the first man to stop 2 time gold medalist from Cuba, Julio Cesar La Cruz. He tried to compete in the Olympics, but wasn't qualified due to having a criminal record.

Hearn had told him that prior the match that if he can't beat Gallegos, then he likely can't become champion. A rematch was scheduled apparently, but nothing has been mentioned since it was mentioned.

Yeah, the guy who said Benavidez is right.

Benavidez is a born & raised American.

Most of the Black & White dudes are playing other sports.
