    The Danish Anglo-Saxon colony is Great indeed, but you have to add Wilder & Andy Ruiz

    • Tyson Fury: Giant that can think, box, talk, joke & get up from KOs
    • Deontay Wilder: Hardest puncher to ever walk earth, Genuine Imperial Grandiosity
    • Anthony Joshua: A Body builder, Instagram model that is a world Champion
    • Andy Ruiz: The friendly faced chubby snack-food enthusiast who demolished the body builder
    The Heavyweight division is full of drama, the size of those Giants make it more dramatic because they are rare....The lower-weights are physically average Asians -the biggest human demographic-, so there is no exotic element about them, the boxing superiority only makes them more ordinary to the casual fan.

    The lower weights will have to go down to 65lbs & 4'00" to match the extreme of Heavyweights, in that case more casuals will be interested

    Well since I'm a hardcore diehard I'm anxiously awaiting this fight. I absolutely love Roman " Choccolito " Gonzalez, he always brings it and am hoping he can pull off what I consider would be a fantastic comeback ,after he was ko'ed some time ago I thought he was finished especially at these lower weights.

    If Roman loses he will retire I guess.

    More than likely, mainly because his team will not want smaller paydays at 105-108

    At 105-108 he can comfortably make weight and try to become the first Undisputed world champion for either weight class.

    Apparently the WBC has ordered Rungvisai to face the winner of this match up. If Roman wins will he get in the ring with him again?

    The lack of hype is mostly due to Chocolatito's losses. Took a lot of the luster off his reputation. I still think it's a great fight, and I'm really looking forward to it. Winner vs. Rungvisai will be terrific too.

    I'd love for Roman to win and meet the Tai fighter again to avenge his 2 loses but I don't want to see history repeat itsself because sometimes that 1 fighter just has your #.

    This is a 50/50 fight for me, Roman has to start quickly and plant the seed of dought in his head. Then got to work.

    They are just too small. You make excellent arguments, but they are just tiny. Also seems like it's been awhile since the first fight.That said, who is promoting it? Will it be on DAZN or ESPN or FOX or Showtime? I'll fuggin watch it.

    I respect the effort you put in and your reasoning but I'm afraid I cannot include The Tuscaloser in that bracket nor even close.
