Oscar De La Hoya

Erik Morales

Kostya Tszyu

Krzysztof Wlodarczyk
Tomasz Adamek
Dawid Kostecki

I guess its gunna be V. Sosa
Because I can't find no Creole Fighters...

Mickey Ward

Arturo Gatti

i guess im going to go with aamir khan, because his background is pakistani, besdies him, im canadian, so ill go with gatti

Billy Conn or Jake LaMotta, hard to choose between those cats.

Kostya Tszyu

Roy Jones Jr!

Erik Morales.

Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, "Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Jr., Zab Judah, Jeff Lacy

I'm caucasian so I don't know of any good boxers from my ethnicity

I'm caucasian so I don't know of any good boxers from my ethnicity

I'm in the same boat. I guess I'll claim Lil Mac off Punch Out.

Kostya Tszyu who is Russian not Australian btw. Don't know why people with Australian flags come to his fights :p

one half would be Carlos Hernandez
other half i guess would be V. Sosa.

Benny Leonard
Max Baer
Abe Attell
Dana Rosenblatt

Kostya Tszyu who is Russian not Australian btw. Don't know why people with Australian flags come to his fights :p
hes russian but he lives in australia

hes russian but he lives in australia

I know that. I guess he should have said favorite fighter based on nationality. Would have been more specific.

Felix "Tito" Trinidad
Miguel Cotto
Wilfred Benitez ect...

Kostyas definately Asian. Seen his eyes?
Kostya Tszyu who is Russian not Australian btw. Don't know why people with Australian flags come to his fights :p

Kostya.

Kostyas definately Asian. Seen his eyes?

LOL hes definately not Asian maybe you should look at his eyes.

The only half decent fighter from my nationality is some 122 pound champ named Mahyar Monshipour or some bull****..

Either way, I will be my favorite fight from my nationality in a few years...

Kostyas definately Asian. Seen his eyes?

The first time I heard of the name "Kostya Tszyu", I thought he was Japanese.

But in all honestly, Kostya doesn't look like a Russian to me.

Kostya.



LOL hes definately not Asian maybe you should look at his eyes.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/indepth/yir2002/text/img/tszyu.jpg

His father is Korean or an Uzbek I forgot.

http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/12/14/wbtszyu_wideweb__430x323.jpg

Benjamin Escobia for me.

He definetly looks Russian. Russians were invaded by the Mongols at one point and there was lots of intermarriage between Russians and the Mongolians. That is why he looks the way he does. Kostya is a Russian name btw.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/indepth/yir2002/text/img/tszyu.jpg

His father is Korean or an Uzbek I forgot.

His fathers name is Boris.

Roy Jone's name is Roy which isn't an African name.
His fathers name is Boris.

Roy Jone's name is Roy which isn't an African name.

Well Kostya Tszyu is definetly Russian, just has been mixed up with different groups over time thats why he looks asian.

I thought all Russians were Asian and many of them have east asian features.
Anyway to answer the question.

Maywheater
Jack Johnson
Emmanuel Agustus
Ray Lenard
Thomas Hearns
Tim Austin
Brewster

Please tell me thats a typo, cause I dont see the joke.

Tim Austin? Brewster? WTF?
I thought all Russians were Asian.

Maywheater
Jack Johnson
Emmanuel Agustus
Ray Lenard
Thomas Hearns
Tim Austin
Brewster

I think it's a typo.

I like Lamon Brewster cuz he has heart and so does Tim Austin. Tim Austin would be a great champ if he had some head movement. The guy cant slip a punch but he has a good chin.

Tomasz Adamek.

only 2nd polish world champion ever (1st was Dariusz).

I thought all Russians were Asian and many of them have east asian features.

Nope, only Russians that intermixed with the Mongols or Chinese/Koreans.

Isnt Russia in Asia? Does that not make Russians Asians?

Isnt Russia in Asia? Does that not make Russians Asians?
Russia's capitol is in Europe, which makes russia a european country. i dont know who made up that rule, but its always reffered to as a european country.

Russia is in Europe but there are some country that used to be part of USSR which includes Russia that are in Asia.

Rocky Marciano 49-0 nuff said.

James Toney shows everything about my peoples history in terms of Heart,strength,Courage in a true warrior who will never back down to a challenge and its not for show if you meet him in the street he will say the same thing and fight you anywhere

1/2 javier castillejo 1/2 ricky hatton

My favorite fighters from my ethnicity are

Erik Morales,

Oscar Larios,

Jose Luis Castillo,

Antonio Margarito,

Rafael Marquez

Jose Luis Castillo isnt my ethnicity but hes the ****!

Jose Luis Castillo isnt my ethnicity but hes the ****!
The man is a cool S.O.B. Their is one thing that i dont understand, how the hell did he(Castillo) lose twice to Javier Jauregui, I like Jauregui a awful lot but Jauregui isnt anywhere near Castillos class.

Castillo is the man,

Yeah, doesnt make much sense either. But Castillo is in a better place now than Jauregui.

Yeah, doesnt make much sense either. But Castillo is in a better place now than Jauregui.
But Jauregui has like 11 losses, he does punch hard, Jauregui does. Maybe thats why Bob Arum had him and Oscar De la Hoya has him. Bob Arum may have saw something that i dont know about. Just like your boy Zahir Raheem, who is also signed with Arum.

Carlos "famoso" Hernandez

Russia's capitol is in Europe, which makes russia a european country. i dont know who made up that rule, but its always reffered to as a european country.

I have heard it reffered as a European country in the video game Medevil Total War but everywhere else list it as Asian and in school we all learned that Asia was the largest continent.

This Place Does (http://www.inweh.unu.edu/inweh/Mapdatabase/Maps%20of%20Asian%20countries%20_%20Asia_1.html)

This place list 3/4 in asia (http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/as.htm)

Mexican live in American but are rarely called Americans in the same way Argentinians are called South Americans. I think thats the same with Russians in Asia. You never hear Russians called Asians or Europeans.

from my nationality it would definitely be King Kostya Tszyu

from my ethnicity background.....i don't know there are only a couple albanian boxers out there...so that would be Luan Krasniqi and Elvir Muriqi.

Read Title........


Marciano (Italian)

Dempsey (Irish and a distant cousin)

The only white fighter i like is paulie malignaggi so hes my fav of my race

Marco Antonio Barrera :boxing:

Boy dude, somethins wrong if you onlike like Pauli Malignaggi. No Dempsey?
The only white fighter i like is paulie malignaggi so hes my fav of my race

Hary Greb,Mickey Ward.

Mick ward.

The only white fighter i like is paulie malignaggi so hes my fav of my race


So you italian or you just saying white? cause the thread was ethnicity.

what ethnicity are you as in background and then choose a fighter from the same background.

He definetly looks Russian. Russians were invaded by the Mongols at one point and there was lots of intermarriage between Russians and the Mongolians. That is why he looks the way he does. Kostya is a Russian name btw.

OK - Tszyu's Grandfather is Korean.
KT's father is 1/2 Korean, 1/2 Russian, and his mother is full Russian.
This makes Kostya 3/4 Russian, 1/4 Korean.

Tszyu is a naturalised Australian - his kids were all born here so they are 'Australian'.

Let's not get into the whole "Is Russia in Europe or Asia?" again?!!!

Now back on the topic... If you consider Tszyu is a naturalised Australian, he's my favourite fighter. If you want to say he's Russian, my favourite Aussie fighter is Danny Green.

Consider some of the best Australian fighters at the moment...
Tszyu (Russian/Korean descent)
Vic Darchinian (Armenian)
Robbie Peden - Part Aboriginal
Mundine - Part Aboriginal
Hussein brothers - Lebonese descent
Paul Briggs - born in New Zealand

What a melting pot we have!

Jose Luis Castillo,
Antonio Margarito,
well mabe I should just stop there because there are alot of Mexican fighters that I really like.

Not in American, he's still Asian. Your race is often times determined by your looks and he definately looks Asian and I wouldnt say if I saw him on the streets, thats a white guy and definately I wouldn't say he's Russian.

Huh? Explain?

The man is a cool S.O.B. Their is one thing that i dont understand, how the hell did he(Castillo) lose twice to Javier Jauregui, I like Jauregui a awful lot but Jauregui isnt anywhere near Castillos class.

Castillo is the man,

He lost because he was cut and they would not let him continue, its not because Javier Jauregui is better than him. It is just that Castillo cutz. His first 4 losses were because of got cutz.

Im 100 percent white. Im mix of English,German,Scottish,Irish that I know of but wouldn't doubt it if I had some other European blood lines as well. I know for sure that I dont have any Brown are Black in me! Most white Americans are mixed with different European blood lines. America is a European colonized land. Its alright because its all white. I know I can fly the American flag with honor and could sit at the same dinner table as the men on American money.

Kosta Tsyuz is more white than Asian to me. The two top races of man are white and asian. Russia is mostly a white nation. Kosta was in the Russian army. Russia is bad ass. It was the Russians who beat Nazi Germany. America was stilll fighting Nazis in France when Stalin was inside Nazi Germany. Russia beat the Nazis then turned around and killed more Jews than Hitler did.

You might be mixed, but if you look black. Look Asian. Thats what you are. Kostya's looks Asian for sure.
Huh? Explain?

Many Russians have Asian look about them, anyhow.

Not the Russians I've been in contact with. I bet he has a white wife. He's probably denying the Asian in him.

I know that but it is strange, i cant picture Jauregui beating Castillo, by k.o, decision,or even by cuts, I know Jauregui is O.K, but Jauregui beating a fighter like Lavender Johnson for a title(who again holds a title) is one thing But beating Castillo is the mark of a great fighter, Jauregui isnt a great fighter.

You might be mixed, but if you look black. Look Asian. Thats what you are. Kostya's looks Asian for sure.

Not realy because some Puerto Ricans look black but they are not considered black. Example.( Tito Trinidad)

He calls himself Latino which says nothing about his race. It just says he was born in a Latin American country.

Tito is black and didnt refute Hopkins when he called him black.

What a melting pot we have!
its not really a meltin pot mate...........it is the place that all these boxers call HOME.....like you and I do....

everybody has their background, history, etc.......but they are all proud to call Australia home.........

if we were to get technical, then none of would be australians (except for the aborigines).....

so all of the boxers mentioned are true blue aussies, and proud champions.

thats what I mean, dude.

Not the Russians I've been in contact with. I bet he has a white wife. He's probably denying the Asian in him.

Who's denying it? Tszyu said it himself in his autobiography. His wife is Russian.

He calls himself Latino which says nothing about his race. It just says he was born in a Latin American country.

Tito is black and didnt refute Hopkins when he called him black.

True he is Black but he is an African-Puerto Rican so Puerto Ricans can still claim him and African Americans Can't, because his ancestors didn't come to North America They came to the Carribean...

manny Pacquiao!

thomas hansvoll

Im not surprised he married a white woman.

Zab Judah!

Both the Klitschkos

The Soviet Union beat the Nazi. Dont forget Russians werent the only ones in the army, and there chief commander Stalin was from the country Georgia off the coast of the Black Sea.

this is not a WWII debate. take it outside.

I'm in the same boat. I guess I'll claim Lil Mac off Punch Out.


Good Choice...at least Little Mac had the will and determination to train and was willing to fight anyone, no matter the size or how the odds were stacked against him(see Bald Bull, King Hippo, Mike Tyson, etc.)

Erik Morales

Zab Judah!

stop trying to be black haha

Zab Judah!

Manny made a funny.... I never thought I'd see the day.

Mike Tyson.

Jake Lamotta, Rocky Marciano, Arturro Gatti. I can't really decide between these three.

Im not surprised he married a white woman.

Sorry mate, I just don't know what you're trying to say.

Hes saying Tsyzu Doesn't want any Korean in his Family and is ashamed of his past I guess

stop trying to be black haha

stop hatin foo!

A bit of me says Anthony Mundine (as a boxer) and the other bit says Danny Green. Go the cross-bred mongrels!

Hes saying Tsyzu Doesn't want any Korean in his Family and is ashamed of his past I guess

If so, why would he broadcast his part-Korean heritage?

Bizarre!

If so, why would he broadcast his part-Korean heritage?

Bizarre!

Hey I'm just Trying to interpret all this ask him, I'ma keep quiet on the next one...

erik morales/fernando vargas

marco antonio barrera

marco antonio barrera

I see alot of Mexicans are on here Thats really good to see

Micky Ward and Gatti, of course! Rockin Robin BLAKE was the MAN back in the 80's Boom Boom Mancini and Pazienza, two white dudes with alotta heart and will to win!! I ABSOLUTELY loved Iceman John Scully in the Michael Nunn fight. He was too tough for Nunn that night and whupped em even though he didnt get the duke. Iceman also looked real good on ESPN in a tko victory once, I forget who he fought though. Klitscko, the one that KO'd Ray Mercer. He got a good jab!! Gene Hatcher when he KO'd Johnny Bumphus, big win!!!!!! Awesome

Manny Pacquiao, Gerry Penalosa, Luisito Espinosa(in his prime) and Rodel Mayol. Rodel Mayol is another bright prospect from the Philippines and I think he will be the next Manny Pacquiao but he has more skills than Manny. The only problem is that he is fighting in the lightest division in boxing.

I don't know excatly but I guess naseen hamed and Amir Khan may be some what similar in heritage as my family. I am half Arab (Syrian)

Sugar Ray
Sweet Pea
Roy Jones junior
Chris Eubs
Witter
PBF

I also have helluva lot respect for TheCat Thompson a real proper warrior

Scott Harrison

Roy Jones Jr

Manny_P ur balck/african american????...."nyahahahaha"

Manny_P ur balck/african american????...."nyahahahaha"

in spirit and ways. nyahahahahaha.

Whats balck?

Carlos "famoso" Hernandez
Thaaaaaaaaaattttsss Riggghhhhttt! and Rocky Marciano

I'm Italian and I'm from Boston, Ma.... so of course you know I gotta go with Rocky Marciano... also Jake LaMotta

Manny_P ur balck/african american????...."nyahahahaha"


In his head hes black, :rolleyes:

Billy Conn or Jake LaMotta, hard to choose between those cats.

Surprised anyone brought Billy up...

Have to agree and maybe add fighters like

Micky Ward, O'Grady, and the Roach's

Ray Mancini, Zale...

can't take anything away from Conn against Louis though,

30 lb. handicap, and still would have won if he'd only

been smarter...

I'm in the same boat. I guess I'll claim Lil Mac off Punch Out.

You guys do realize that ethnicity means your skin color, right?

Just making sure...

Roy Jone's name is Roy which isn't an African name.


Duh, because he was born in the U.S. to American parents!?

James Toney shows everything about my peoples history in terms of Heart,strength,Courage in a true warrior who will never back down to a challenge and its not for show if you meet him in the street he will say the same thing and fight you anywhere

It's back down FROM a challenge, and he won't back down from a needle eother lol

I have heard it reffered as a European country in the video game Medevil Total War but everywhere else list it as Asian and in school we all learned that Asia was the largest continent.

This Place Does (http://www.inweh.unu.edu/inweh/Mapdatabase/Maps%20of%20Asian%20countries%20_%20Asia_1.html)

This place list 3/4 in asia (http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/as.htm)

Mexican live in American but are rarely called Americans in the same way Argentinians are called South Americans. I think thats the same with Russians in Asia. You never hear Russians called Asians or Europeans.


Russians are called Russians because they are Russians.

Mexicans aren't call Americans because they don't have papers,

and are still considered Mexicans. I still don't understand why

BLACKS WHO WERE BORN IN THE U.S. want to be called African-Americans...

If you are black, and you were born in the U.S., then you are a black American!

I'm half Lithuanian. For that half I'll choose Jack Sharkey (born Joseph Paul Zukauskas).

Hes saying Tsyzu Doesn't want any Korean in his Family and is ashamed of his past I guess

Or maybe the poster just doesn't like white lol

arturo "thunder" gatti

I think we need a race draft like Dave Chappelle. I want to draft Marciano and Mickey Ward.

hey man i like lots of black fighters. i follow rubin carter, malcolm x , martin lutherking, and all those guys


but dam many toney...>????? not the best example.......

Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, "Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Jr., Zab Judah, Jeff Lacy
r u a fan of micheal jackson?

well umm... i dont really have any from my ethnicity considering im pakistani lol..... (in canada tho)

sooo.... aamir khan (his parents r pakistani)
and gatti, lucas, and ....... o brown the cruiser weight

Hes saying Tsyzu Doesn't want any Korean in his Family and is ashamed of his past I guess


Ashamed of what?! :confused:

First, Tzsyu's grandfather was Chineese.

Second, is he obliged to marry Korean (or Chineese women for that matter) only? Can he not choose whome to marry at his own will?

1. Not in American, he's still Asian. Your race is often times determined by your looks and he definately looks Asian and 2. I wouldnt say if I saw him on the streets, thats a white guy and definately I wouldn't say he's Russian.



1. B/S. In America, Tzsyu could classify himself any way he wanted -- Euro or Asian.

2. Then you have not met too many Russians, have not you?

still V.sosa

I am Polish, Rusian and Austrian. I don't know what part of Russia my family is from and I don't know any Austrian fighters so I will go with Golota, Maskaev, Dariusz M. and my half brothers are part Ukranian so i add the Klitschko's.

I'm an Irish-Canadian, so I'd have to choose the great, Jimmy McLarnin.
