Wasn't she attacking him

Yeah, she was several rounds up but then he landed a big right hand.

He beat a hooker

Who cares? The op is asking about the body stuff that was always laughable. Beating a hooker and smoking weed puts him nowhere near a boxing bad guy anyway.

Mate, Tyson kept his word, and ate Lewis' first born in 2005. He's Rumpel MF Stiltskin

Small guy
Anger issues
Eats children

You know it makes sense

True .
However during his fighting career the American audience always had a bit of an issue with his dual British / Canadian status

Seems to me that the Brits were the ones with that issue. USA didn't give a fk.

Poppycock !

I don't really care, who Wilder is in his life out of boxing, but his "bad" image is OK, it's entertaining.

I am old enough to remember when Lennox was first making a name for himself on the international scene probably around 93/94 , he said himself that the US media and fans had a problem getting behind him as he was of Canadian / British heritage .

anyway my point was really that US fans are still hung on the past particularly with Mike Tyson .

I personally was never a Tyson fan.
But I'm more than old enough to remember Lennox Lewis career.
Hell I remember Foreman turning pro

Only the fan boys, anyone with any objectivity or taste knows holyfield was the man.

I think Wilder is probably a decent person. I remember when Artur Szpilka was injured in their fight together and he got on the microphone and expressed concern for him. He also has a daughter with a disability who wants to provide well for. I think he’s just a competitive guy who gets carried away sometimes with the tough guy act, but I don’t sense vindictiveness in him.
