how come the majority of heavyweights of the past were black?

Gamboa is a mix of white (Spanish) and Black (African). He looked almost like a white guy when he was fighting Rogers Mtagwa. Again, Gamboa is Afro-Cuban.

African Americans do better than Africa due to their socioeconomic status. If Africans had the training facilities, trainers and nutrition like African Americans they would do extremely well if not better than AA I second this post.

cause during slavery they breeded the strongest slaves together to make stronger slaves so credit the slave master or what?!? :nonono:.....you bigger and REALER than this post larry!!!

There is likely some truth to all these comments. I noticed African-American boxers are on average faster and more athletic on average than African boxers. Does that have to do with the mixing of the genes, or "hybrid vigor" as biologists call it? Gamboa, Haye and Sillakh (all of mixed race) seem to be naturally faster than most white AND black boxers. Not really. Gamboa is an Afro-Cuban.

he's mixed No, he's not as good as Fedor He's 1/2 Asian, 1/4 white and 1/4 black. You can't claim him. Considered Afro-Brazilian. That's your opinion. Considered African American.

1. Anderson "4 losses" Silva can't hold Fedor's jockstrap. Don't believe the UFC hype machine bullshit. Fedor is the greatest of all time and #1 p4p fighter in the world 2. lol at you mentioning a sprinter.:rofl: How are sprinters "bad and tough"? 3. lol at you mentioning a golfer :rofl: 4. football is an american sport and the strongest player in the NFL is Ukrainian Igor Olshansky. 5. Messi is the best soccer player in the world. Ronaldhino didn't even make Brazil's roster for the world cup :rofl: 6. basketball is a pussy sport. all of the players are soft and can't fight for shit. HAHAHAHAHAHA. greatest post in the history of this forum

well i'm going to sleep. just wanted to finish up and say racism or black/white nationalism or whatever you want to call it is for uneducated goons. caring about an athlete's race, or any man's for that matter, is probably a sign of an undiagnosed mental illness. or at least someone who's momma didn't teach em right Um... okay.

facts and stats are clearly relevant. if an athlete looks black but turns out to be half white, then it'd be false to say he's a black athlete. he's just as much white as he is black. did you know ali is 1/8th irish? or henry armstrong was more than half indian? or that andre ward is half white? Nope, not in this sense. Being 1/8 this, or being 1/4 that, is irrelevant. I did indeed, and that's all irrelevant, as each and everyone of them are considered to be African American.

if an athlete looks black but turns out to be half white, then it'd be false to say he's a black athlete. he's just as much white as he is black. Keep it real. In America, if you have some black in you, you're considered black. Except if you go to prison.

Soviets weren't allowed to turn pro until the 1990s because of the cold war. Now Soviets are allowed to turn pro and we're already dominating. The strongest, baddest, toughest humans on the planet are from Eastern Europe. ahhaha couldn't have said it better myself in the future the main language on this forum will be russian

I personally don't care what you are, but I personally don't feel it's necessary to lie about my racial classification. Not that doing so would make any difference as it's clearly obvious who and what I'm grouped along with. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension. I clearly stated facts and statistics pertaining to what we're talking about are irrelevant. No ones cares, no one asks, no one tells. Most people aren't even aware of their exact percentages of their genetic makeup. Troll you; are you serious? facts and stats are clearly relevant. if an athlete looks black but turns out to be half white, then it'd be false to say he's a black athlete. he's just as much white as he is black. did you know ali is 1/8th irish? or henry armstrong was more than half indian? or that andre ward is half white?

Yes. Remember Floyd mentioning that people say he trains like he is still poor? Poverty is a powerful motivator. Many boxers (no matter ethnic origin) are from poor backgrounds.

and i could tell people i'm jewish and they'd believe it. it doesn't change the fact that i'm not also, i lol'd at "facts are irrelevant" i'm starting to think you're trolling me I personally don't care what you are, but I personally don't feel it's necessary to lie about my racial classification.

Facts and percentages are meaningless in reference to the topic at hand. While there's a possible chance I maybe 10-20% white, it doesn't change the fact that I will always and forever be classified as an African American. When you're asked to fill out the little bubble, classifying yourself with whichever ethnic groups that are listed, they don't ask "Are you an African American who's 20% white, or an hispanic person who's 15% African?". It's meaningless. I'm not arguing against the facts, I don't care about the facts either way. They're irrelevant. and i could tell people i'm jewish and they'd believe it. it doesn't change the fact that i'm not also, i lol'd at "facts are irrelevant" i'm starting to think you're trolling me

facts and percentages prove everything pal. the fact is, there's a good chance that you're 10-30 percent white. the same goes for white people, 30 percent of self identified white americans are more than 10 percent non white. argue with the facts all you like if they bother you that much, but you're right, it doesn't change anything. racial allegiances are a joke cuz you never know what you got in the woodpile.

Ok, you're really trying to hard. Seriously, if you wish to delve into technicalities and swim through facts and percentages that prove nothing, then be my guest. Regardless of whatever you post, Pele is and will remain Afro-Brazilian, and I'll remain African American. We're all well aware of the fact that hardly anyone on this planet has blood composed purely of a single race of people, that's a given.

I made list of dominant strong, bad, tough mofos and proved that eastern europe produces the strongest, baddest, toughest humans on the planet. You laughed at me like a retard and then made a list with a golfer, soccer player, basketball player and a sprinter. Are they badass tough mofos? No, they aren't, you're a moron and you got owned. :rofl: Ok, Eastern Europeans are the "strongest, baddest, toughest" humans on the planet. :fing02:

obviously he was mostly black, but brazilians are a mixed bunch. so are americans actually. "Multiracial Brazilians make up 42.6% of Brazil's population, 79.782 million people, and they live in all regions of Brazil. Multiracial Brazilians are mainly people of mixed European, African and Amerindian ancestry." no offense but you sound like you got some identity issues dude. this might upset you, but you're probably a little bit white yourself. "the average Black American is 20% European" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_admixture check the sources if you want, they're all there Ok, you're really trying to hard.
