Why was Floyd able to be so popular in America but Wilder is still B-level in fame?

[sentax]

Boxing isn't the biggest sport anymore in the US but Floyd has been at points the biggest or near biggest figure in American sports as well as the richest.

Wilder is also a brash loud-mouth boxer and at a historically more prestigious boxing weight-class, but he's barely in the mainstream american sport discussion.

Floyd was up there with LeBron and Tom Brady, Wilder is maybe there with Sidney Crosby?

Floyd took on all fighters and pretty much was dominant in every round of every fight ,
He basically was pushed in 2 bouts in his career, than dominated both opponents in the rematch Castillo & Maidana. And Zab did win maybe 4 rounds. It is what it is.
And that’s that

Floyd fought the best at the beginning than Cherry pic when he got to Welter but Wilder is still Cherry picking that’s why he’s still B level

Floyd realized he was the B side to De la Hoya and won a razor thin decision, thats when he took over the PPV.

Imagine Wilder being smart, he would have taken the 15M, beat AJ and taken over. But Wilder is not smart.
