American have HUNDREDS of heavyweights/heavyweight prospects. (292 current heavyweights)
Way more than anyother country, go look at the numbers on boxrec rankings. USA have more current pro boxers at heavyweight alone than the Ukraine have in all weight divisions!

What you should have wrote
Is 'rarely have GOOD young hw prospects'. You have the quantity you just don't have the quality.

Lol I disagree, so who would you say are the best American heavyweights prospects then? Apart from this Anderson guy who I've not seen yet.

Too soon to tell on them. Conto is too small and does nothing special. Boxing is dying in America. Large athletes are opting for basketball and football for years now. You can tell just by the amatuer programs and lack of success in international amateur events including the Olympics that it's not the sport it was decades ago.

If pushed to name a couple, the best of the poor bunch are probably Jermaine Franklin and Darmani Rock right now. Doesn't say much.

Franklin looks terrible to me, Rock has some talent but I think he's the lazy type.

It's funny because Americans have been saying that ever sonce the rest of the world could compete lol! I hate excuses in boxing. American heavyweights just aren't good enough it's as simple as that. You can't be making any any excuses when the USA has nearly 300 current active heavyweights which is far more than any other countries, most countries have about 5-20 heavyweights
Plus you have the best facilities/gyms, best trainers, etc.

No hatred. And yes facts are facts and everything I wrote was facts, American HW's just aren't good enough, deal with it without making pathetic excuses.

Angel Garcia quote - '' the truth hurts and people don't like the truth''

I've forgot more than you've ever known you poop.

All countries all over the world have loads of sports more popular than Boxing. Yet they don't make any excuses like the USA does, and they don't have 300 current active heavyweights either lol!

Now run along and watch your Dontae's Boxing Nation videos

The only thing Conto has going for him is what Ali called "the complexion to make the connection". You sound a lot like that goofy dude that used to post here under the user name "Freedom 2013". Is that you F2013?

I don't remember Freedom 2013, but if he was like Szaman, he'd be forgetable. Sonny Conto! SMDH.

You didnt miss much. F2013 was Canadian and hated American fighters, especially black US fighters. He hasnt been here for a couple years, he may have been banned for racially bigoted comments.
