Ive seen you post this comment hundreds of times
on what planet are those things i mentioned not hugely important?
the sport was dominated by american talent. that american talent is recruited to play football and basketball and generating billions in revenue. now that that american talent is gone, the sport is garbage.
is deontay wilder unique? who is being naive here?

Joshua started boxing at 18, turned pro after a short am career and could win the title (with a win over Wilder this year) at 28.
Wilder started boxing at 19, turned pro after a short am career, and could win the world title at 32 (with a win over Joshua this year).
Marciano started boxing in his early 20s, had a short am career, won the title at 29.
Joe Louis started boxing in his mid teens and had won the world title about 5 years later.
Mike Tyson didnt start late, but considering his insanely quick rise to the top he is also comparible. He started boxing at around 13-14, and had pieced together the title and basically cleaned out the division by the time he was 22.
This accellerated learning curve isnt that unusual in HW history

If you need to believe that a black alabamans genetics somehow relates to you then go ahead

I don't even consider these guys and the Klitschko's & Lewis HW's to me they are super heavy weights because of their sheer size. Other sports robbed us of the traditional heavyweight and the outsized guys have a chance to be the best because of it, not saying they aren't great fighters but damn it's almost like the 6 foot tall HW is pointless now.

you don't need to get the truth spelled out for you very plainly, in a manner that even a british can understand?

Because of this, i am probably more closely related to Deontay Wilder than you are.
Genetics baby woo

i get why a tiny guy would box. he can't make it in other sports where size is at a premium. but there's no early reason for a talented, big athlete in the US to box. none. there are a myriad of opportunities to do other things that don't involve getting punched.
