Deontay Wilder - living proof U.S doesn't care about Heavyweights

He got the deserved amount of attention imo.

Gotta beat Wlad before you crown him

 

Name one british boxer with personality and I'm talking about boxer with personality and brains ,not loudmouth clown ! Btw if they are culturally different than toothless limey losers doesn't mean they're boring or has no personality . Watch ovechkin play, fedor or golovkin fight and then talk about personality and excitement and then watch england play soccer or just watch british athletes in any sport and you'll now everything about loser mentality.

 

So what you are trying to say? If you prefer seeing a trash talking, semi-educated people with aggressive appearance on the spotlight rather than honorable and respectful sportsmen, okay. But if you call that a charisma and praise them for it, then it speaks a lot about you as well.

As for F1, the biggest star ever is Michael Schumacher.
Tennis - Roger Federer.
Notice that both are known for good sportsmanship and being respectful (perhaps not about "charismatic" for you?).

 

The best part about Haymon going network is that we can stop hearing these stupid comparisons between premium cable ratings and network ratings, as though they are at all comparable.

 

If Wilder were to beat Wlad, I think people would start talking more

 

The Alabama per capita was probably higher. The US can't be compared to smaller countries like it's the same game..

 

It was just a North American HW fight...

 

Some people on this forum will have you believe that people hear in the USA have been hyping up Deontay Wilder but reality has always been the opposite. In over 30 plus fights Wilder (an Olympic medalist) have headlined 2 cards on cable network. His heavyweight fight 8 days ago drew a 1.3 million which lets be honest is unimpressive for a heavyweight fight.

Different networks.

Big Bang Theory runs on a free TV channel.

 

Wilder hasn't even been hyped in the US. Hopefully they put him on one of those NBC cards.

 

Who said I can't box!? Who said I can't take a punch!? Who said I can't go twelve rounds!?

Wilder must have been somewhat aware of the hate he was getting on sites like this. Now that he has proven his haters wrong, he is throwing it back in their faces and they can't deal with it.

I think it is refreshing. I'll take Wilder talking trash to his critics all day over fighters that offer fake modesty and respect and then cheat by back-humping their opponents or offer bull**** excuses instead of giving their opponents credit.

At least Wilder is real. I'll leave you now and let you return to being better than everyone else.

EDIT: Oh good lord, I just noticed one of your complaints is that he has an aggressive appearance. He's a professional fighter.:rofl

 

schumie was the opposite of good sportsmanship, he cheated in any way he could.

parking his car on track by the pits to stop Alonso qualifiying faster than him....driving into hill deliberately when he knew hill was going to take the title if he fnished ...running guya into sidewalls.... staying forever at massively overbdugetted ferrari the equivalent of juicing on PEDS mhuahaha.

get your facts right Schumacher was the personification of cheating in order to get a win.

 

Wilder's paper belt means squat.

Everybody knows the one true champ, man, ruler, kingpin, boss, big kahuna, etc of the division is a certain eastern euro

 

You may have a fair point regarding his tactics, but playing in the gray area isn't the same as being an offensive, disrespectful loudmouth "from the street" etc. Schumacher was a respectful sportsman and was widely respected and appreciated as well. Even today the top F1 drivers like Vettel etc are all honorable sportsmen (which apparently differs from someone's criteria of being "charismatic").

Couldn't find anything on Federer, huh?

 

America has been waiting on a Heavyweight Champion.

But Wilder is not the Heavyweight Champion of the World America is not going to jump in on a fake heavyweight champ if Wilder was to go and beat Wlad he would be become a over night sensation over here.

He would be on every late night talk show that there is and espn and CNN and MTV and more.

He would be very popular.

Im talking if Haseem rahman was on talks shows the whole nine when he beat Lennox if he had won the Rematch he would have been a full blown Star.
