    Ronaldo is such a freak of nature. Amazing speed, strength and power and hard working and determined enough to master basically every part of his sport relative to his position. He obviously oozes different level of human talent so had he picked Boxing with that talent level and mentality at a young age he'd probably have been good.

    In a sport of 11 players he's no worse than the second most dominant athlete of the last 20 years across all sports and holds a bunch of records in the sport played in most countries by the most people.

    He's solid.

      They're only doing well at the lower weights because all the other countries athletes are playing soccer.
      Was it when rahman knocked out Lewis?
      You act like hw is a thing. It’s been irrelevant for a decade robbie

          Ronaldo would be a scrub in any other sport.

          If you want to look at freaks of nature, look at Rugby, Football or Basketball. Soccer has some of the weakest athletes around. Who would make a better boxer, Lebron James or ****ing Lionel Messi???

              Incredibly dumb and narrow minded. You sound like a UFC fan that ****s on other sports and makes it out so that your sport is the only one that's got talent.

                  The fact that the UK is even comparable in terms of quality to the USA is an overachievement for the UK & an embarrassment for the USA.

                  the USA SHOULD have FAR more stars than the UK. the UK is better pound for pound when taking account the size of the two nations...get over it whiny yanks.

                  As for the question, sometime in the 90's you could argue I guess, rahham was the last lineal Amercian champion, but he soon got put in his place by Lennox Lewis...in fact, no Amercian heavyweight in the 90s was better than Lennox Lewis.

                  I guess you can have the OPINION that Wilder is the best, but Joshua is still the more accomplished Heavyweight...and that, on the other hand, is a FACT.

                    C'mon he's arguably the best player on the planet playing the most popular sport on the planet, ronaldo looks like a fruit but that doesn't mean his athletic ability isn't elite.
