The point about the American heavyweights is.. they're currently crap compared with the past, when America had a conveyor belt of great/good/quality heavyweights. His point is.. it's depressing Tony Thompson is the best America has to offer.
Yes but he said that America should not get another title shot for 5 years he said that. Would he say the same thing about David Haye, was Tony Thompson's effort half as dysmal as the performance Danny Williams put in against Vitali?
I'm sure he didn't mean it literally, amat

He was working from the basis Thompson is the BEST heavyweight America has to offer.

I think people are taking what he says far too seriously. Or not getting the tongue in cheek stuff

Thompson's "effort" can't be compared with Williams. Williams took an absolute sick beating and never stopped trying to, at least, land a lucky punch. The second Thompson went over he decided to stay there. And that was after boring everyone to death, getting pawed, for 11 rounds.
