    Who has the persona for it and could maybe use it as a tactic to sell tickets?

    I thought Wilder would be a perfect candidate. He is American, black(no racist intended), already hated by most hardcore, KO artist, has perfect counterparts with gentlemen from Europe.
    He could be and should be a star. He need to step up his villian character and step up his level of competition.

    Broner could have been if he made more of his talent. Even his ''tough as $2 steak'' line is stale.

    I agree with the Wilder thing. I think if he went heel he would become huge. Worked for a boring welterweight fighter like Floyd. Imagine an exciting heavyweight like Wilder. I think he is too genuine though, too much country in him ha.

    I saw the Charlo last fight where he KO'd dude then got boo'ed for not shaking his hand. Maybe they are starting lol.

    Wonder if Floyd will teach Davis how to be a villian.

    Danny Garcia can be a villian. A lot of people don't like him already, so there's that.

    Forget AB or any other EE fighter for that matter.
    Beterbiev says a prayer in the ring before each fight. What kind of villain is ultra religious ?

    Wilder would've been a great choice, but guy's a fraud.

    IMO There's only Tyson Fury who can fill this role.

    Boxing is now a landscape full of Goodboys

    Islam is not too popular in the west. Maybe he could burn the USA flag or something.
    Agree with you on T.Fury - a natural born heel.(and a living legend)
