Non-white boxing fans fail to realize that the white race is the most war-like race on the planet. Virtually every major war in ancient and recent history is the doing of the white race. Blacks, although probably physically the strongest of all races, is the least war-like. The European race in general just likes combat, it's in their genes. Let us look at the following fighters you mentioned Addison and their backgrounds in a historical perspective;
Ricky Hatton-Son of the former British Empire. The English have set an indelible mark upon the historical landscape. We basically speak their language here in the states because they were so good at WAR.
Michael Katsidis-A Hellene (Greek). The Greeks basically invented European warfare. Alexander the Great conquered the known world and brought European culture to the forefront of humanity.
Joe Calzaghe-A Roman, nuff said.
Wlad-A Ukrainian. Do you people know how freaking tough the Ukrainians are? Countless wars were fought over the "bread-basket of Europe" due to its fertile wheat fields. This produced one tough, war-like people.
In short, it's no surprise that White fighters are able to rise to the pinnacle of the sport of boxing. It's in their genes in the first place and it's just that the proper socio-economic reasons have also come into play in conjunction with physiological ones to allow the ascent as of late.
Now before everyone starts berating me for this hypothetical post, please know that I do consider the above to be just one far-off take on Addison's inquiry as to why White fighters are becoming prominent as of late.
