Britain is a proud father of the US, another one of their colonial sons that made it. Just like Canada, Australia and all the rest.
On boxing however...the mother country is running the show right now.Last edited by Weebler I; 04-10-2016, 12:52 AM.

Regardless, we couldn't compare that information anyway. Say boxing is the 8th most followed sport in the UK and 9th most popular in the US -- the US has 260 million more people. Even if it was 20th most popular sport it would probably calculate into a larger audience.

The problem with Luis Ortiz is he's so damn old
"officially" he's 37, which is pretty old for a heavyweight
but in actuality he's closer to 47 which is OLD
He will drop off at any day now and grow old overnight, steroids can only do so much.
If he wants to become a world champ he needs to do it, FAST

As far as American heavyweights, who knows. Joshua is still untested really but I'd pick him over Wilder. I think Ortiz is the best out there at the moment though
Anyway, AJ should be labeled as a the Americutioner and given a tour of America like fighters back in the day, when he fights all these bums such as Manour, Scott, Jennings (not a bum) and then culminates in a fight with Wilder, who I'm pretty sure would have lost to Povetkin by that time.

The US has more boxing gyms than any other nation on the planet and one of the most well funded amateur systems around. Heck, their system is better funded than Kazakhstan and Ukraine yet you guys still can't create amateur champions.

Who could possibly challenge the British empires dominance?
