The Radio Rahim Interview Made Me A Wilder Fan

[Sheldon312]

As you all know, I have been very critical of Wilder's boxing ability and the opposition he has faced, but I cannot continue to criticize this man and look at him as an enemy. As an American, i'm a hypocrite. During the olympics, no matter what sport, i'm rooting for the American. In boxing, it is the opposite. America hasn't had a superstar HW since Tyson and Holyfield. Wilder has the ability to be a superstar but due to lack of promotion, being avoided, and racism he has received the shorter end of the stick compared to the likes of Canelo and AJ(who lives in a much less-racist country compared to the US)

Let's just call it what it is, Wilder is hated in the US because he is an African American who is not afraid to speak on racial issues. It's funny how we all fall head over heels over fighters like Spence, Thurman, and Crawford but when was the last time any of these guys ever mentioned a thing about the struggle of African Americans in the United States? Wilder is the only American fighter we have who is not afraid to speak his mind. As you all know, I am a huge AJ fan but, now, I want, and hope, that Wilder will be the undisputed HW champion of the world.

Yes, Wilder is sloppy. Yes, he isn't the most technical fighter out there. But, one thing is for certain, he is a KO king, he's charismatic, he's entertaining, and he is a Champion.

BOMB SQUAD!!!!!!

Wilder talks as he fights, street style.

You guys in the US need to sort your race **** out

You have been coexisting for 100s of years now, how many black guys died in the world wars defending your country?

Don’t know if you’re American so you’re probably not aware how bad things are over here.

I’m American but not black and I can tell you it doesn’t matter if most American athletes are black or Hispanic the racism in the states still goes strong but mainly behind close doors nowadays unless of course you’re Trump.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I am an even bigger fan after the interview. I love his intensity, his fights are must see TV. Tired of people on this site going to the racism thing. We elected a black president twice. Tyson Ali Frazier Foreman Holmes Holyfield Joe Lewis all loved by Americans. Fact. Wilder has been poorly marketed. Poor marketing has nothing to do with racism. If we were so racist as some think, the NBA would be making no money and no one would watch the games. Very few light melanin people in that league. Wilder needs to get on TV and on talk shows. He needs to hire people to promote him. Tiger Woods, Micheal Jordan type stuff. They have dark skin are ya catching my drift. Heavyweight boxing is still dead in the US. If Wilder beats the the nutjob and goes to England and KO's JOshua then he's a household name.

That'd take a revolution, man. A situation of perpetually simmering racial tension happens to suit the political elite in the US fairly well I think. Divide and conquer has always been one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of any regime.
