white americans just cannot cut it at boxing..

[MidnightSpecial]

what is the main thing that makes a fighter good? The fire inside of them that longs to be a champion.
If you want to know why black americans dominate in boxing just look at the demographics. Minorities make up a large part of inpovershed america. What do white americans suburbanites have to fight for? They have more opportunities and usually take a different route from boxing. Now take a black american that may come from a family with little income. These guys will have less oppurtunities in life and the only way to make a name for themselves is to fight. They have the fire.

Now im not saying all black americans are poor. That would be VERY wrong. I am just saying that they have more drive to suceed because their sport maybe their opportunity to make a name for themselves. Same thing for Basketball, Football, and every other sport in America.

I myself am a white southerner. The area I am from is relatively poor. Many of my friends who were black used sports as their ticket out of here. Not because that was all they were good at but because sports were their only chance to get into college( families could not afford it)
But frankly i could care less if my american fighters are black, white, asian, mexican-american, or ****ing purple. I am proud of my fellow americans for their achievements no matter what color, race, or creed.

the excuses on here have been woeful..

Carl froch is from a humble white ara of nottingham, but hes got a degree in engineering..same with nathan cleverly, hes even moe ioressive with a maths degree at cardiff...

Yet they are schooling people of all races, both are not from as poor a areas as people from detrpit, compton etc...

Face it white americans are nonces, stick to watching surbeben white comedies such as rosanne and cheers wheres us europeans spank americans(probabyl black as white yanks just cannot cut it) left right and center...

Nice post, especially agree with the bold. Other countries don't understand how far we have come in terms of welcoming other cultures and races into our own and as a result they are seen as the same. Sure there's still racism but overall when **** comes down to it we're all Americans.

To TS, genetically I think white Americans are not as suited to sports that involve high speed, high power output such as sprinting, boxing, etc. However, they are suited for sports that combine endurance and speed and power(see cycling, soccer (football), decathlon, etc.

QBs go as followed:

Tier 1 (Godly)
P.Manning
Brady
Brees

Tier 2 (Superb)
Manning
Palmer

Tier 3(Great)
Farve
Warner
McNabb
Schaub

P. Manning, Brady, Brees, Big Ben, Eli, Rodgers, Schaub, Warner, Palmer, McNabb.

Essentially all white.

[Kalion]

P. Manning, Brady, Brees, Big Ben, Eli, Rodgers, Schaub, Warner, Palmer, McNabb.

Essentially all white.

True but if I list top 25 running backs,Defensive back, Defensive ends, Line backers, Wide recievers defensive tackles there will be about 5-7 caulcasians listed. The rest of the positions will be filled by african americans and a few latinos.

Oh and big Ben isnt a top 10 QB. He just happens to play on thea team with one of the greatest Defenses in the league.

[Danny Gunz]

Thats because white americans dont box anymore.

[T.Horton]

Hopkins would beat Froch.

easily. surprisingly easily i'd bet.
