Because the way he carries himself is an embarresment to us fellow Americans on the international stage. Pretty much the same reason most of us are rooting against Donald Trump.
Knocked out badly by an unknown LHW in amatuers --ALSO, OUTBOXED badly by a Polish Sausage in the amatuers --Squeaked by with a bronze medal somehow in the Olympics --Put down by morbidly obese Dustin "Big Worm" Nichols with a "Check-Jab" --Put down heavily and almost out by career loser Harold "Hard Roc" Sconiers --Built much of his career by beating sad corpses like Harrison and Lyakhovich --Brought in personal friend Malik Scott to take an obvious dive --Did not fight the real champ for his "title" but a Don King manufactured Buffet champion --Knocked down by 2 Wlad jabs and OUT with one medium left hook in sparring --Destroyed and almost ktfo'd by Haye in sparring --Rocked heavily by a Firtha jab --Could not defeat a very ill Stiverne as convincingly as Demetrice King --Could not even knock a very ill Stiverne down like Rossy --Some of the most shameful opponents for his "title defenses" that the world has ever seen, showing his low self esteem --Rocked badly and almost out vs substitute teacher Molina ("Drummer Boy") --He did not perform as well agasint Molina as Arreola OR ASHANTI JORDAN, both of whom knocked him out in 1 --Eye busted up and made to look like a gargoyle by Duhaupas ("The Reptile"), a French pastry chef --Sold as a nice guy, but actually spends his time beating up hookers and mental patient Charlie Zelenoff, who are ironically his best opponents --Dispresects great fighters like Tyson and Klitschko --Now trying to claim that Fury's "courageous" win somehow makes him champion. --Avoiding Povetkin like the plague --Seems to be using a new tactic,probably to mask steroid use, of not allowing his pathetic opponents a full camp --Was considering Wawryck, knocked out in 3 by his mandatory, as an opponent --Offered a shot to Adamek, a shot to pieces 39 year old former LHW who is 1-2 in his last three, but only allowed him a 6 week camp. --Avoided Briggs and Bronco Billy Wright, shot fighters who carry AARP cards --Will fight an unemployed Soccer Hooligan named Szpilka? on 4 weeks notice, and will underpay him, overfeed and hooker him up --Wilder's team, the "Burger Squad", keeps removing and scrubbing the Internet of all of his shameful knockdowns and ktfo's; mostly while attempting a bad attempt at the "Ali Shuffle", which will now be called the "Burger Bungle". --Got punked out badly by unemployed, fur coat wearing soccer hooligan Spzilka at face off for their upcoming "title" fight -- Was being outclassed by undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka for 9 rounds -- Was clearly intimidated by Tyson Fury after landing a lucky punch against undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka -- When intimidated by Fury, had to resort to his pathetic catchphrase, causing embarrassment to, and for, everyone associated with the Wilder camp. -Now is again avoiding Povetkin like the plague and will likely be stripped of his title; but Uncle Al will give him a worthless,* manufactured PBC belt. -Tried to fight the CAN Martin in a title unification match, but the WBC refused to allow the fight, and that Wilder fight his mandatory; then team Bronze Burger attempted to get Povetkin to fight Martin, but he regused; just another pitiful attempt to duck Povetkin.* -Wilder skips leg day, resulting in pitiful 14" calves on a 6'7 man, which produce the funniest chicken dances and future ktfo's ever.
To the ones that know who he is. He is hyped up like he is going to be the GOAT. He is also being promoted as the HW champ, when all he has is a toy belt that means nothing. He also sucks.
From what I've seen on this forum most American posters root against American fighters which is pathetic. You don't see other countries rooting against their own like you do with Americans. UK posters root for UK fighters so do Mexicans so do Russians. People in this county have no loyalty to it and will be the downfall of it one day.:-(
I assume this a race-baiting thread. But probably because his record is padded and it's a shame when you are 36-0 but didn't even fight for a title until you racked up 30 some wins. Has not really been tested. Proclaims himself as the best but his best opponent was probably Stiverne.
Americans do root for him. It's you International posters who don't think so. His popularity is still rising in America. People don't know who Povetkin is where he's at.
Bull****! Why not support Ward he's killed here. What about Garcia? What about Russell Jr? I could go on and on. PBF should be supported he's the flag carrier for this country the best fighter of this era, Americans should have cheered for PBF every time he fought someone not American but they didn't. Wilder knocks people out and is arguably the best American HW and is fighting Povetkin next but you will have Americans rooting against him hoping he gets knocked out. Why? You don't have the type of stuff in other countries especially when they're fighting someone not from their country. How many people from the UK rooted against Fury when he fought Wlad? I rest my case.:deal
I don't root for him because he has been overly protected and does not deserve the hype he receives. His career has been a farce. I do root heavily for Bryant Jennings.
Well, when you won't fight for your country your usually not well liked. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
