When will we see another American HW champion ?

He's getting better. Still young.

 

Yeah other countries in the world don’t have any other sports and just do boxing.

Even from you that’s up there with the biggest load of nonsense posted on this board since Neet got banned again.

 

Check out the World Baseball Classic, played every two years. There were teams from 20 qualifying countries. Japan, US or the Dominican Republic have won in the past 15 years with Cuba, Puerto Rico and Korea being runner ups.

 

There are Canadian teams in the MLB and the World Baseball Classic does allow for teams from all over the world

 

But it´s not a load of nonsense.
How many other countries have large fanbases of sports that are dominated by big men?
USA on the other hand has strong financial incentives for big athletes to get into various team sports early. Meanwhile their boxing program is basically dead.

The argument as silly as it sounds, is backed with reason and logic.

 

Rugby

There’s a sport straight away without even having to think about it.

 

Uh, I believe that original poster was being sarcastic.

 

damn it!

 

And rugby is as popular as in boxing in which countries?

 

Off the top of my head New Zealand, Australia, France, South Africa.

 

And would you look at that, they don´t produce any notable heavyweights in boxing, with a few exceptions.

USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the world with a population of 300 million plus.
And who do they have that stand out in 2024?
Deontay Wilder
Jared Anderson
Michael Hunter
Jermaine Franklin Jr

In any era, that would be a weak crop. And it doesn´t make sense, why would the US heavyweight talent pool be so weak?

 

That wasn't your question buddy. Besides, NZ is a country of 5 million people and the best of your 300m lost to one of ours.

Face it, the only sports Americans are any good at are national ones where they don't let other nations play.

 

Dominant? Don't hold your breath. On the other hand if Miller fought Charr you'd have a belt again.

 

If by champion you mean alphabet champion they'll be one in a few years. If by champion you mean the actual champion its probably going to be way longer. It would not surprise me if the US only has 1 or 2 of those the rest of the century.

The US takeover of boxing that happened in the early 20th century has been undone and going forward the US will be just another country especially at HW. There were times in the 20th century when the US had the entire HW top 10 and almost always 5 or more. Thats done. Whether they win belts or not there will be fine American HWs but they will more often be "favorite sons" like they would be anywhere else opposed to being part of a "crop". I predict the US HW experience in the 21st century will be something similar to the UK HW experience in the 20th.

 

As above.

And I will also add in England, the country which the current WBC champion is from and also the former unified champion is from. Plus we have and have recently had a number of highly ranked contenders.
