Er im not American, i also dont think the HW champ needs to be American but i think he needs a personality. I think Britains due to produce a HW destroyer ala Tyson,Liston, Foreman.

With all the money he's been making i'm sure he couldn't care less.

If i was in his shoes, i'd be happy if people didn't come up to me for autographs while i'm trying to do my normal chores.


totally disagree...the money is unsatisfying in the end without the recognition as well..you want people to make a fuss over you everywhere you go because it shows you have status.....the Heavyweight Division in boxing is soooo dead...the Klitchko brothers have no charisma at all..no one gives a fuck about them
