When was the last time America had the #1 HW?

[Phenom]

In every country in the world when you talk about boxing, people are most interested in the heavyweight divison.

It has the most iconic fighters and history. People who have never watched a boxing match knows the names of Ali, Foreman & Tyson.

The highest grossing fights in the last 15+ years haven't been HW though so did that division not have fights since Tyson?

Every country, eh?

Wow, that's impressive.

You know what I mean. A fight between Thurman and Spence would not get the same hype and as many countries broadcasting the fight as a Joshua vs. Wilder fight.

Haha, alright man.

Agree to disagree.

They have not had the same fighters with the same charisma and excitement.

But then again, if you ask me, Mayweather does not have neither charisma nor an exciting style. But that's just my opinion.

You think a Spence vs. Thurman fight would get the same exposure and hype worldwide as an Wilder vs. Joshua fight?

But yeah. Agree to disagree

Right now.

Nope. Rahman got lucky. A drug taking psychotic bum before and after lewis.

What drugs did he take?

Idc about this American vs UK thing, you made a comment about the Americans only being good at sports the create. But when you go look at who's won the most Olympic medals it's u.s. and it's not even close.

That's only because they dismantled the USSR.

That's only because they dismantled the USSR.

Absolutely, and I don't think anyone can argue this
