As I have said before, boxing in the US is not an attractive option for a tall 200lb plus athlete. Bastketball and Football pay more guaranteed money, you don't lose wages if you get an injury, you don't get biased media hitting on you, you don't get dodgy managers and promoters doing deals behind your back, you don't get bent sanctioning bodies making up ridiculous ratings and getting kickbacks, and finally you don't get 'tame' referees and judges, all on expenses.

In weight order the smart choices for US athletes going pro are Basketball, Football, Tennis and Golf.

The only boxers that survive through this are the truly gifted, Mayweather, Paccio, Naz etc.
