Lol the LDBC

I remember when they tried to make Fury vs Wilder about race and said Wilder was gonna make fury pay for the white man's oppression, and then Wilder was yelling about 400 years of oppression.

And then fury knocked Wilder out in black history month.

Sorry but that was just hilarious to me.

what about those two Russian bros that look skinny fat but were at the top of the UFC for years Fedor and emenanko?

The way you look in terms of muscularity has little to do with fighting ability or even strength

remember when Andy Ruiz KOd Anthony Joshua. both literally had body types on the opposing ends of each other with Joshua looking more like the athletic/bodybuilder type and Ruiz just a dad bod bloatlord. Some of these bloatlords have some pretty good footwork and quick hands.

Ruiz laid out bbc blueprint Joshua while being a sloppy mess. Tyson is the undisputed best active boxer.

Goat tier Jake Paul has KO’d everyone in the ring.

Yeah bro sorry OP but that’s not what Crawford was arguing at all.

He was stating that Arum and his company Top Rank put in less effort to make black boxers into superstars.

Arum responded that it’s not his fault but the fact that Crawford himself just isn’t a PPV draw/star.

Seeing things from a neutral position they both are stating facts.

Picking Wilder as the bastion for White dominance in boxing is like picking Ben Carson (in his prime) as the bastion for Black dominance in Medicine.

Idk why the hate on Wilder.. he's pushed Fury to the limits in 2/3 fights, they both are legit warriors and the best in the division. I'll never bash a fighter (either Fury or Wilder) for what they've shown when facing each other, that chit was epic

But generally I would say that there are more young black fighters coming from the bottom as opposed to young white ones

Obviously there are strong correlations though.

Otherwise fat fighters wouldn't be such a small minority.

I'd bet since fighting has been a legit event the amount of fat fighters is probably much less than 1%.

All the old fighters like from 1800's were pretty jacked.

makes sense considering boxers typically come from impoverished groups. for whatever reason MMA is a lot more racially balanced

Wilder is a brawler, which is why Fury has his number.

I also don't think Wilder could beat Joshua, and possibly Ruiz either.

Fury is head and shoulders best in the division and then it's a battle for second.

With Fury's size and IQ I don't see him getting beat for a long time, or til he decides to hang em' up.

I'd even go as far as saying due to Fury's extraordinary size, PLUS skill at that size, he's a generational talent.

You don't get to an elite level of boxing like that without being delusional as hell. Every fighter is delusional, every fighter has to have that same mindset when they lose that "this man didn't beat me.. I beat myself. I just gotta change this and I'll win!"

Joshua has a very weak chin and is susceptible to get hit. Wilder had a great chin (those fights against Fury took a toll on him).. Joshua loses to Wilder cause he gets caught every single fight against great competition. Imo Fury mops the floor with Joshua, Ruiz had his chance and blew it
