They're all in other sports. Boxing isn't as popular as it used to be, my little brother is 13 years old at 6'4 (no shoes) and 250lbs. I tried to get him into boxing but he didn't like it, he plays basketball. Just like all of the other genetic freaks out there, guys in the NFL and the NBA are just as big or BIGGER than both Klitschkos. When you grow up in America the main sports kids play are basketball, football, and soccer. Basketball and Football have a crap load of fans.
Tell me, just how many American heavy weights have you ever seen that 6'6 and 260lbs of muscle? This is COMMON in both Basketball and Football.
Here are just a FEW NBA/NFL players that are either bigger or just as big as Wlad:
Ben Wallace 6'9, 240lbs
Brandon Jacobs, 6'4 264lbs
Dwight Howard, 6'11 265lbs
Julius Peppers, 6'7, 283lbs
Need I go on? I can find THOUSANDS of guys that are huge and fast just like them, these guys are athletic freaks and can excel at just about any sport.
Out of my ENTIRE high school, I've only met around 4 people that liked to watch boxing and 2 of them that were into in boxing. All the biggest kids are playing football and basketball.
Again these are all college sports aswell...theres no college programme for boxing.
