HEY U FORGOT ROCKY BALBOA!BEST WHITE FIGHTER EVER! GO ROCKO!!!

HEY U FORGOT ROCKY BALBOA!BEST WHITE FIGHTER EVER! GO ROCKO!!!

Yep, best damn "come from behind" fighter ever! LOL

One of the best in the last ten years, um, ME.

Greatest fighters since 1944?

1. Willie Pep (easily)
2. Rocky Marciano
3. Jake LaMotta
4. Tony Zale (severely underrated, imo)
5. Marcel Cerdan
6. Carmen Basilio
7. Gene Fullmer
8. Joey Giardello
9. Ken Buchanan
10. Joey Maxim

Rocky Graziano was an exciting slugger with a huge right hand, but he didn't do much aside from beating an old Zale once.

Billy Conn was at the end of his career in 1944.

For me, it could have been, the guy they called "The Great White Hope"
Gerry Cooney and Tommy Morrison. But Cooney turned out to be just that - hope. and Morrison got HIV positive.

I find this thread offensive.

1.TSZUYU
2.JIROV yea jirov

Nice avatar.

Respect must go to Steve Collins. The Irish fighter retired champ and beat a selection of good fighters, what a chin too!

Fellas, you forgot Chris Byrd.

good stuff. karma for you.

I find this thread offensive.

There was a "greatest mexican fighter of all-time" thread earlier and there weren't any complaints. How come this thread is offensive? I'm not attacking you; simply trying to find some common ground.

However, i will say that those who think white fighters can't compete with other races shouldn't make generalizations. There are some white fighters that could compete with anyone.

Mexico is a country. Mexicans come from Mexico. White refers to a race, not a country of origin.

Correct. Mexican is an ethnicity, not a race. There are tons of white Mexicans in Mexico. The majority of Mexico's population are "Mestizos", which is, Indian mixed with White European blood.
Of course there are full blooded whites and full blooded indians that were born and raised in Mexico.

botha, butterbean

Good point. I didn't think of it that way. Still, i don't find the post offensive. Perhaps because i'm not white.

Why should it be racist to ask about the best white fighters? Is it sexist to ask about best male fighters?
