You have to read his posts with a Leprechaun accent to understand what he's saying. I've recently started doing that and surprisingly he's a very entertaining poster. :deal
No, i want an American HW who is either the real best or is willing to take his chances and prove it win/lose in the ring. If Wilder is just going to milk the title and pass on real challenges, I can't get behind him. If he fought Povetkin and beat him, and announced his next opponent as Wlad, I would be happy.
He's been champion for a few months only, and has already had one title defense. It was a soft touch defense, but most newly crowned title holders take a soft touch for their first defense when circumstances permit. You're acting as if he's been champion for years and avoided the best available challenges.
Yes! Because I only root for American fighters. And if 2 American fighters are squaring off, I choose who I root for by who's wearing the more patriotic colors, and if that deciding factor happens to be a push, I go based on who lives closer to New Jersey. :smoke
Truth be told, if that were the case, I'd have been deported long ago, despite the false accusations against me. :smoke
On a serious note, I'm actually surprised that there aren't any American fighters who try and play up a patriotic angle, Creed trunks and all.
Getting people to hate him for it is something that adds to the marketability, methinks. I kind of wish Ward himself took on that mantle, and sported Apollo Creed trunks, entering the ring to James Brown, with an American flag d****d over his shoulders, and one of those fancy Uncle Sam hats. :smoke
Gonzalez > Ward... You troll. And come on, Marquez is 10x the fighter even a motivated, prime Smith was.
