    So is Nigeria the ultimate prime breeding ground for todays heavyweights?

    We have Efe Ajagba as a Nigerian, Joshua, think Wilder has said before his ancestors are Nigerian. Ibeabuchi, Peters.

      Interesting fact (100% true).

      In certain parts of Africa, I the wheel was not even invented until the 18th century...

        They make ‘em big I suppose.

        I’ve wondered this before. Brits have a history at 168 - is that because if you’re in shape at 5’10 and 6’0 you should be around 12 stone/12 and half stone? The average height in the UK must be around there I’d think

        Mexicans are smaller and traditionally have fighters in the smaller classes. Yanks have fighters across the board because they’re a huge country with so many ethnicities.

          That analogy would put Americans around the 147, 154 mark as that's their dominant area. Slightly smaller to the UKs normal 168 hangout. Maybe that's the real reason for their anti-UK look, they realise were much well physically built, at least 16 pounds man on man.

                Googled I we’re either 5’10 average or 5’9 if you include the jocks who are obviously short arses.

                I’m still having that. If you see someone under 5’9 you think they’re a bit short tbh

                  Your fighters usually are soft asf compared to the U.S. counterparts. Keep dreaming though. I guess you think the UK has better teeth too
