    A guy like Robert Helenius probably makes 10x the money Seth Mitchell does.

    Because his countrymen gets behind him.

    You guys gotta big up your heavyweights and get them on networks, boxing overall is in a brighter light if the heavyweight scene is on networks like it used to be.

    According to Wladimir Klitschko,Wilder is pretty good.
    And Wlad has started to throw $uper $eth's name around.
    Why is Fisher Price better than Wilder? Because he beat up John Mcdermott?
    Come now!

    Shut up you Abba Freak.

    Our heavyweights are fat, lazy, unmotivated and are hype jobs.

    They don't have that mean ness that they used to have. Different generation, different mentality.

    being the best is the American mindset. if you're not extraordinary, you won't get much support around here. being exciting is cool, but being P4P #1 is the goal.

    But Wlad only had 35 fights at that time so he must have still been green.

    Thats the problem.

    You need to get behind these guys like you did in the 60s and 70s. You'll also encourage younger generations to pick up the sport, who the hell actually wants to be a heavyweight boxer in usa today, when all your media outlets basically ignore the division? :lol:

    In all fairness though Helenius was beaten handily by Chisora.
    People talk bad about Mitchell because he got rocked by Witherspoon but Helenius was rocked By Tank Williams and Haye was dropped by Barrett.
    Double Standard?

    Very much so.

    Ali was dropped by Sir Henry Cooper, imagine had that happened today? ESB would've labelled Ali a glassjawed joke.

    Wlad wants to fight in America again, and he wants to fight Mitchell or Wilder.

    He'd rather fight them than "fisher price"

    and that's all you need to know

    He stopped the previously unstopped Timur Ibragimov in devastating fashion.
    He knocked Chazz Witherspoon out after being in a bit of trouble early.
    He has some highlight reel knockouts on ESPN, clobbering people unconscious with his right hand.


    If Ali had fought Cooper in this day and age, people would be sporting this as their avatar:

    And trolling Ali for his "glass jaw".


    Seems like you american fans are afraid to get behind your heavyweights because you don't see success in them.... its quite distasteful.
