      you UK sillynannies are clueless

      the money shifted in american sports awhile back and thats when you saw a major dropoff in the US Heavies

      in the 90s LT, the most feared defensive player in the NFL, made less than 2 mil a year

      now what were bowe holyfield and tyson pulling in during that time?

      now its shifted...basketball players make crazy money....plus sneaker deals...and nfl guys make realllly good money and have sponsorship deals with athletic apparell brands

      its become harder and harder to make real good money in boxing in the US...its easy to get it in basketball, baseball and football

      anyway...we'll see whos inferior if your boy hearn ever grows a nutsack

      we are inferior to no one
      Born and raised in the united states. Kids dont grow up picking a sport based on how much money it makes. They choose based on what they love to play. Try again You’re 0 fer 2.

        Every kid in Europe (and pretty much everywhere else) grows up wanting and trying to be a footballer, even the pro boxers say the wanted to be footballers first. Imagine if boxing was a tiny fraction as popular as football and all those kids tried to get into boxing instead of football.

          no they dont

          you are completely clueless

          for instance...take a look at a guy like joe mauer....or jeff samardija

          now samardzija actually had a college football career and could have been drafted in the nfl...he chose baseball because he knew that a slightly above average major league pitcher could make between 10-15 mil a year.....which is what he makes and what he is.......as opposed to being a 3rd round pick in the nfl and making 600k a year till your first contract is up

          joe mauer had a scholarship to florida state to play qb...the glamour position in american football....but he knew he was a safer bet in baseball and it was easier on his body....he did well in baseball and made about 200 million...because he knew he was better at it

          kids dont pick based on what they love...they pick based on what their good at...and when they are good at multiple sports(like many american HS athletes) they choose the one they feel they have a better chance to make the most money in

          0 for 2 huh? lol....you are clueless

            I guess Im clueless then. I never realized that college athletes were kids or children. They dont choose the sport they love based on how much money it makes. They dont understand or care about stufff like that. All they know is what they like to play, so they grow up playing that sport as much as possible. Some get very good at it and move on to high school teams. Then, if they excel at that level, college or pros.

                There are so many footballers I'd have loved to have been boxers. Not because I think they'd be any good but because I'd like to see them get chinned.

                  What do you think?

                  I don't think there's any evidence to suggest he would.

                  If he goes on to beat Joshua than I'll have my reservations.

                  but as of now, I'm not convinced.

                  He's too sloppy and wild. Prime Wlad had much faster feet and would have set him up pretty easily.

                  But dmn Wilder has some dynamite in that right hand.

                      Me too. I doubt he would have defeated Wlad. I got your PM. I just haven't got the time go do the research yet.
