    If AJ's stamina is all that bad Usyk might play him like a fish and tire him out---assuming AJ doesn't catch him with a big shot, which is possible ( he has a pretty good uppercut ).

    meh, once you get middleweight or above the elite level athletes gravitate towards other sports.

    Lol that stupid excuse has been laughed off years ago by everybody. Can't believe you wrote it haha! It's the most dumbest flawed excuse ever haha. Every country has sports more popular than boxing. Its like saying the best Uk athletes are playing football and rugby. Usa have far far more pro fighters in every weight class than any other country, they are just simply not good enough in some of those divisions so don't bring comedy with those cringeworthy excuses thst got laughed off years ago lol!

    Keep in mind this guy is 6'7" 230lbs ( basketball player ) never thought about boxing.

    I cannot believe that international people haven't figured this out: in grid iron style football and basketball, size matters. In football ( soccer ) not so much, in rugby size helps but not like in grid iron football or basketball .
    BTW JJ Watt is 6'5" 296lbs ( he wouldn't be that heavy as a boxer though )


    This guy is a huge NFL player---never tried boxing

    Many of the TALL soccer players stay as slim as possible to keep their endurance, they DONT bulk up throughout their lives. You see tall soccer players, plenty in Europe, obviously they are outnumbered by the smaller guys, but thats because small guys are more prevalent than tall guys.

    Another fact is that 98 percent of all tall people find normal jobs or professions totally not relevant to sports.

    First guy's shorts are disgusting and crazy gay and the second one sounded like a meathead jock when he was celebrating his jump. The ''Must've been the shoes, baby!'' line would've earned him a severe beating where I'm from, too.

    Compare the number of tall soccer players to the number of tall basketball players and tall grid iron people and the " they're all playing other sports" argument starts making more sense.

    The first guy's shorts are less gay than the bathing suits men wear in the southern part of France and Spain. The must've been the shoe's line, I slapped him for saying that---then he pulled both my arms off.

    There are more tall soccer players than there are Tall basketball players. Soccer is a global sport, the number of small and tall players is greater than in basketball or other yank sports. Remember inside the soccer field, the height of soccer players ranges from short to tall. Most soccer players are short because short people are more numerous and available. Also most tall people including short people find other professions not relevant to sports. So no your arguments dont hold water.

    You do know that the average NBA player is 2 meters tall, right? You do not find many short pro basketballers or small pro football ( grid iron ) players. That's why once you get below middleweight there are more elite level athletes boxing in the USA.

    Sports like Football and Basketball are biased towards large athletes for obvious reasons, unlike soccer or Rugby that is accepting of all size ranges. Just because Yank Boxers above middleweight are not doing well has more to do with the GLOBAL nature of boxing than anything else. Most elite welterweight size amateur boxers from other countries dont even turn pro, only a small fraction of them do. Heck even in the upper divisions only a small fraction of large Amateur heavies turn pro from foreign countries.

    Yank boxers above middleweight are not doing well are not doing well because; they are not elite level athletes and they usually started boxing too late to become great technicians compared to heavier weight fighters from other countries who are elite level athletes and have a lot of boxing experience.
