    This whole tall fighters have no skill is complete bs

    And Cunningham is like 6'3 with an 82" reach , I don't consider him too small

    I think it will be more popular then ever! Canelo is a monster and already is a superstar. Thurman is bout to be a superstar. Crawford looks like he wants to take that step. American HW will blow up the scene espcially if its Wilder.

    Boxing looks good

    Sad. But true, and for that very reason I've always wondered why the cruiserweight division has never become a more "glamorous" division than it has? They certainly display more skill than the heavyweights these days.

    America has no good heavyweights on the horizon just very unproven prospects , I'd put wilder at the same level as hughie fury expect furys 10 years younger

    Neither do I but most people do, put him in the ring with Wilder and Wach see how small he looks, he looked tiny next to Fury.

    Of course he looks small compared to fury, but there's lots of advantage of being a small heavyweight, your faster, better stamina, your footwork is going to be better, it's very harder for the taller fight to hit your body without leaving themselves wide open

    But people se to focus on the advantages the taller heavyweights have

    I'm expecting him to retire after 3 years, if he goes beyond that I'll be shocked.

    He has recently said that he wants to fight for another decade. In any case he will continue to fight so he can beat Joe Louis' records.

    I don't see anyone on the horizon that can beat him. The only thing that is going to eventually beat him is age.

    All the hype is around jww-jmw and that's because of 2 fighters, other fighters just by being around their weight get a lot more exposure. Future of sport looks grim tbh. No big stars emerging.

    That's the reason I said he'll still be champion.

    yup and Americans will still find reasons to hate him after he breaks Joe Louis' records
