I often get accused on here (usually by ******s to be fair) of being "anti-American" because I never big up many US boxers. If you'll look closely I rarely big up UK boxers either, unless they're Danny Williams, No.1 ATG. But here's two facts:
1. At least six or seven of my all-time ten favourite boxers are Fat Yanks. In this I include the likes of Ali, Frazier, Holyfield... I might even include that lisping rapist.
2. I think a lot of Fat Yank boxers today are pretty cack.
That's the thing. It's a nadir for Fat Yankery in the sport. In particular, the heavyweight scene is now so dire that the US has taken under its wing Chris "The Nipple" Arreola, a 480lb beaner to represent.
Here's some Fat Yank boxers I rate:
* Gayleather. The guy's retired. Supposedly, anyway.
* Wanky Wrong. I have a lot of time and respect for Wanky, but when it comes down to it... he's so boring he's like a mogadon in pugilist form. The only danger of him putting his opponents to sleep is if they watch his highlight reel.
Those aren't the ONLY Fat Yank boxers I rate, but I need to take a ****. Discuss.
