I almost cried.
Why are there never African Americans involved in great fights like that?
Because African Americans are mostly boxers and when it's a great fight, it's mostly the African American putting on a one sided beating (Mayweather vs Gatti) and not a all out war. Boxers are underrated in general.

Because most of them are slick boxers who shut fighter out or down.
There are better fights in the past decade than Izzy/Rafa II to me. Vitali/Lewis I would say is one of those. Pac/Morales I possible as well. I'd need help with other suggestions, but I remember being more excited about other fights.
Top 4 is about right. Top 3 in any order I can see.
different decade different generation of AAs.
Wazaa said how come there are no AA in great fights,he did not say what decade or put any time line on it..And that's just not tru AA were the sole of boxing for a longtime and had great fights for the most part..

Wazaa I hope you don't mean ever because Sugar Ray,Aaron Pryor,Meldrick Taylor,even Mosley was in one with Hoya..So I don't agree that African Americans don't have classic battles..
chico is mulatto. his father is as black as a nigerian. his mother is mexican.
some people consider that "black" because physically, mulattos look black.
all in all the whole conversation is petty.
I think his real father, as in the man who raised him, is Black, but his biological father is Colombian.
you read me wrong. I am not a "defense fanatic" I like a bit of everything. i don't like to see too much "defensive fighting" but i also don't like to see too much high intense mauling. the reason being is that those are the most damaging fights that a fighter can be in....those are the permenent brain damagers.....action packed fights are diffrent from a intense blow for blow all out mauling. i don't care what the majority of people think because this is more of an individual question to begin with. i don't like high intense maulings. it's one of the most devastating things a fighter can go through. not only for now. but in the future when he has to live the rest of his life in his body (not MY body or YOUR body) but his body.
agreed.......
thats ret@rded....
what u find as exciting others may not. thats why its a flawed survey.
i personally don't like to see 2 guys beat each other half way dead in till they suffer permanent brain damage. (to me those are very damaging bouts)
i respect them for being warriors but at the end of the day they are still people who have to live the rest of their life in those bodies. & not being able to see or speak to your children in the future is very damaging. not being able to keep still is A very irritating disease to live with all because of your entertainment.
:boxing:
I respect you're opinion but it is those kinds of fights that keep the sport of boxing alive. You can respect pure defensive boxing all you want and prefer it over brawling or fights that involve both brawling and technical skill, but at the end of the day, if the sport was only technical, defensive wizards, we would have to find the nearest YMCA to be able to enjoy a fight because it wouldn't be on the air.
And when it comes to subjectivity, majority always rules. The majority of people find those types of fights more exciting, therefore, they are.
