    Ha, yeah, that was obvious. Nobody except a resident of Alabama or Georgia would care. People in the other 48 states just think of him as Evander Holyfield, U.S. Olympian and unified CW and 4-time HW champion. I'm pretty sure if you quizzed people on the street (or even just narrowed it down to boxing fans, but forbade them using Boxrec or Wikipedia or anything) nobody would guess his state of birth or residence correctly. :yep

    The question is, who will be Deontay Wilder's Max Schemeling?

    When will we see that epic bout? I'm awaiting with bated breath.

    :lol:

    Yes Wilder might KO him in 1. :deal

    I suspect we'll get something closer to a Louis/Schmeling 2 rather than a Louis/Schemling 1. :hey
