If Wilder was British

[ukbox]

He'd be a bigger star over here than AJ is

David Price was a massive star until his career derailed.

Wilder would be huge here with his reel of KO's

With how David Price's career went down the pan after his losses its easy to see why they're keeping AJ safe to avoid the same fate

Once these huge heavyweights get knocked out their mystique is gone. Each opponent there after is in with a shout & goes for it.
For the guy like Price, each fight he's in now is a full on battle...even facing weaker opponents than he was steamrolling before. The opponents smell blood & know theyre not indestructible

Once AJ has 2 defeats he's done. Hearn knows this

Haha "massive star" is an exaggeration.

He wasn't. He could sell tickets in Liverpool and people had high hopes for him as the first decent British HW for a while, that's about it, mostly due to winning a medal in Beijing. Boxing was nowhere near as popular when Price turned pro as it is these days.

You're right though. Wilder would be a much bigger star here in the UK in the current climate.

I think it says more about the interest in boxing in USA as a whole right now. Back in the 90's, Wilder would've been a star in USA. Casual fans don't care about opposition, as we see in the UK when AJ can fill stadiums v Takam. A big HW like Wilder that looks the part, knocking guys out for fun, WBC champ of the World would have been a huge star back then, regardless of who he fought.

Boxing goes through ups and downs in terms of popularity. It always has done. A time will come again when boxing is thriving in USA in terms of popularity and a time when the interest in the UK is waning.

I think hate speeches and open racism is illegal in UK so if Donkey Wilder was British he would be a star in jail, probably in the shower jail

If Wilder was British he would never have got a world title shot for beating cans and would probably have 4 or 5 defeats to other UK HWs on his record by now.

On the plus side, he would have had a much better education and wouldn't come across as border line ******ed in his interviews.

If Wilder was british he would be the most trolled fighter in ANY weight class in boxing history .

British have always preferred a loveable loser. Not sure Wilder fits the bill.
