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)

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.

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

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
