    Wilder could KO Parker, Joshua and Klit, and still get hate. Americans don't support their own the way UK fans do and that's what makes UK fans the greatest this sport has to offer.

      Wilder has a couple thousand fans in the US, almost none outside the US.

      Joshua has millions of fans worldwide.

      Wilder is everything thats wrong with boxing. (no skills, 40 fights, ducking, dodging, another protected Haymon bum who is badly promoted)

      Joshua is everything thats right with boxing. (great skills, less than 20 fights, already fighting a Legend, promoted extremely well)

          Nah, not really

          I don't know if you're an American or not, but boxing has slid wayyyyyyy down on the sports scale in America. The best athletes don't even box anymore. Ronda Rousey's more famous in America than any male boxer not named Floyd Mayweather Jr.

          Today boxing comes after NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC, WWE, NASCAR, Golf, Tennis, and some other stuff.

            You got that right.

            Most American are pulling for AJ.

            Most hate American fighters get is domestic....much of it from immigrants scabs....but domestic just the same.

              If he just fought a top 5 or hel.l, a top 10 rated Heavyweight and continued to do so, hed get mad respect. But he chooses to fight no-hopers for the most part.
              But as for your example, just fight 1 of those guys. Or fight Tyson Fury later this year and it would shut a lot of mouths. His bravado and braggadacio dont help him when he continues to fight cans (who hurt him, during the fight, might i add).

              Id love a great American HW Champ and i think most here from the U.S. do as well.

              "Some are born great, some achieve it and some have it thrust upon them"

              Still waiting to see, if at all, where Wilder fits in that spectrum

                I'm from the uk so you would have a better understanding than me but I do believe that if an American heavyweight won a gold medal in his home Olympics he would be very popular. Maybe not the same as AJ though.

                  And the worst part is, they don't even have mascots to settle the score unless you count bed bugs and black lights

                    Incorrect. There is now way in hell the UK fans would let Joshua get to a 38-0 record fighting that level of opposition without serious backlash. Win lose or draw nearly every heavyweight fan on the planet will be surprised if Wilder even walks through the ropes to face Parker, Joshua or Klit.
