I think there are a few American HW comming up....

Tye Fields 36-1 33KOs, Big guy, hard hitter with KO power....Needs a few solid fights to establish himself, but if he goes like he is now, could be our next American HW...


The big problem we have had over the years with our HW has been people like Don King fucking up their heads and careers....

If you look at most of the HW that have come from US and have been managed by Don King, all end up with legal battles, either with Law Suits or Criminal Cases...

I think we need to look deeper in America, and look at some of the HW comming up, get them more chances at fights and maybe, just maybe it will happen...

**NOT WANTING TO SOUND RASCIST, so please understand what I am saying atm**

As I was told by a promoter at a fight about a year ago, the big push for a good lookin white HW is what everyone is lookin for atm....Just about when there could be one, he gets smashed...

So what is happening is this, not alot of Black HW are getting many chances and Unless the white HW has some PR credibility(looks, sellable features, etc...), he just aint going to get a fight...NO MATTER HOW STRONG OR GOOD THEY ARE!!!!

So what happens??

The US Promoters look overseas at people like Wlad and Vitali...

Good Looking, Good PR projects and very sellable in the USA....

Whay dont you think noone has jumped on getting Valuev to the states Can you imagine him in a Coke commercial NOT!! But yet, he is holding a belt, has beat some reputable fighters and could be the toughest guy out there...Is he going to be marketted like a champ NOPE, not by a long shot!!!

So when you wonder why there arent any American HW champs, look at the bigger picture...

The promoters dont give a shit about the American fighters out there....As long as they get that almighty dollar, they are happy with just what they can use....
