Hi, please let me ask this to you, people who live in the USA.
I'm from Spain; I've been following boxing since December, 2012 (PacMárquez IV) and I noticed that there is almost any white American boxer at the top, all the talented American boxers are black or Hispanics.
I'm just curious because totally opposite happens in the UK with a lot of white champions (Frampton, Saunders, Fury, Burns, Hatton, Froch, Quigg, Liam Smith...).
Do white people pay attention to boxing in the USA? Or only hispanics and blacks do and whites stick to MMA?
Obviously I'm just curious, I'm not racist and I don't care about the ethnicity of boxers I like.
Boxing isn't popular among any Americans besides Hispanics supporting the Mexican and Puerto Rican boxers.
Seriously, boxing is less and less popular by the year in America.
White American men are being bullied by black males since childhood and feel helpless when black men talk to their women. A white man may yell "I'm not racist!" when a black guy robs him, just to make sure he doesn't hurt him too badly. In other words, white Americans have mentally lost before they step into the ring, it's an inferiorty complex thing.
The white Europeans doesn't suffer from that inferiorty complex, so that's why they can fight, unlike white Americans. White Europeans are some of the best fighters in the world and black Americans are some of the best fighters in the world. White Americans are nothing.
You post a lot of stupid ignorant garbage but this takes the cake. Now I know you're barely in your teens. :kabong:

The irony of someone who goes on a tirade like that, using the term inferiority complex...:rofl:
we see through you...
White Americans are only good at killing innocent people with their weapons. They're not good at fighting at all. An ordinary black street thug can beat a white American soldier in handtohand combat. I even have a video of an old Arabic guy beating an American soldier in wrestling, lol, and American soldiers are always depressed and suicidal when they return home from their invasions. White Americans got weak minds.
You are winning this thread so far :lol1:
Carry on...
Of course plenty of white Americans are fans of boxing. Just look at the number of them in the crowds. I'm a fan of boxing as well as MMA/UFC.
Blacks tend to be the best fighters because whites are far more intelligent than blacks in general, and thus pursue more intellectually/emotionally benefitting jobs than getting beat on for a living.

I think the economic angle with the decline of boxing in the US has to do with the limited audience its been exposed to over the last several decades. The US population is about ~318M. The main place to watch elite level boxing has been HBO since I've been a fan. Right now HBO has about ~36M subscribers. So the fact only 11% of the population has access to most elite level boxing the boxing fan base was destined to go down. I'm sure if you ran the numbers you'd even see among Mexican-Americans, the most loyal fanbase of boxing in the US, a decline in their watching of boxing even doe it'd not as serious a drop in most other races/nationalities in the US.
I think the OP is more curious about fighters entering the ring not so much about who and how many still watching boxing in America whose white population is still the majority, not to mention still being the largest consumers of boxing events.
He mentioned Frampton, Saunders, Fury, Burns, Hatton, Froch, Quigg, Liam Smith... white folks.
So why are there not enough white boxers entering the ring in the US?
I am a white American and boxing is popular with my family and cousins. But with my friends it is not popular at all. Most white Americans I know only really are fans of basketball, baseball, and more than anything else American Football.
Opposite here, family mostly follow the mainstream ball sports. Have a handful of buds who follow Boxing (ALL ethnicities, United fkn Nations over here :lol1:), most are casuals though, and just like to watch highlights and fighters getting KO'd. They don't exactly understand or appreciate the art and (sweet)science in Boxing.. but I have a very wide range of interests, I have yet to meet anyone genuinely interested in Boxing, Skateboarding, & Surfing for example.
Good point, now I understand a bit more about this.
However they practise MMA.
And black people are already taking over, lol, first Anderson Silva and now Jon Jones. What is your excuse in MMA? Blacks are taking over.
I would have thought white americans would be into ice hockey. Thats the only sport they seem to dominate.
Lol Americans don't play hockey. Kinda hard to be a dedicated fan to a sport you didn't grow up watching or playing
Kelly Pavlik. And also, not having white champs doesn't mean white people automatically aren't into the sport. I'm from the UK, and I'd say my black friends are more knowledgeable than my white friends on average about the sport, even though only one of our thirteen/fourteen champs are black.
Yes.
I was asking the reason of the lack of white elite boxers in the USA historically.
In the UK you have decent black, white boxers, even Asians (Khan, Singh...)
You would be surprised how many people in the rural Midwest follow boxing closely. I was. It is not limited by ethnicity. I think it has even grown some the last couple years with the involvement the networks and national tv.

Um, what about Andre Ward or Rocky Balboa? They're probably the best white american boxers ever
One of them is a fictional character though, but he's the best thing that White Americans had in boxing
Besides Ward and Balboa, the best white american boxer is some guy who knocked down Fonfara recently....I don't remember his name though....Trying hard to remember his name, but I really can't...Yeah, that guy is the best white american boxer now
I don't consider Andre Ward white.
The OP is not even asking about why there are more white fans than there are blacks. He's asking about fighters, yet I see posts not addressing the question properly.
My take is probably because of income disparity. People of color in Europe would probably rather not make boxing as a career. Algieri's case, for instance, is extremely rare. He comes from a family with above average income. I believe he can still manage to go to college without entering the ring.
