Very true brother.

Black heavyweights have dominated deep and talented divisions throughout history.

Jack Dempsey might be the highest ranked White Heavyweight and he ducked the Great Harry Wills.

[KlownvonnomaD]

In all seriousness tho I think Dempsey and Marciano are the only two white heavies you could consider as being all time greats.
Maybe Vitali at a push.

Marciano's best wins:

Joe louis
Jersey Joe Walcott
Ezzard Charles
Archie Moore

Pitiful to say the least. All faded and old Champs.

That resume does not cut it for a top 10 spot.

Very much doubt it. Most are race-mixed but they are still majority black.

I have the Klitschko brothers in my top 10 as well as Tua who is not black.

And Jack Johnson ducked Sam Langford and some others I think , he is overrated for publicity/popularity reasons , but Langford achieved more than him even at HW , Langford avoided no one except of Jeffries probably. But Langford was a man far from HW who fought at HW just because he was so good and avoided , he was even further from a HW by the time Jeffries was the champ. So I do not accuse him of ducking anyone.

Sam Langford is a true ATG.
