what does it matter anyway.

when you watching a fight, you look at fighter's skin color, or his performance?

Rocky Marciano was latino???

Anyway, it's between Marciano, Dempsey or Jeffries.
There were several other good 'white' fighters as well like Sullivan, Corbett, Tunney (spent most of his time at LHW), Quarry...

Now most of the best HW boxers are Eastern European, we will see how they (Wlad, Vitali) will be ranked in the future.

There's been many great ones: Jeffries, Dempsey, and Marciano immediately come to mind.

At present there doesn't seem to be a world class white American heavyweight except for Joe Mesi, but he's been compromised by a brain injury.

Some current ones in BoxRec's top 100 include Fields, Minto, Mollo, Chapman, Abell and Richards. Of those, I think Abell might have some potential.

Tye Fields is forced by the athletic commissions to wear 100 oz. gloves so as not to literally decapitate his opponents with a single jab.

Sterling, Italians and European Spanish people are white.

"Latino" refers to people of mixed Spanish and Black or American Indian heritage. In Mexico, most "Latinos" are mixed American Indian and Spanish, while in Columbia and the Dominican Republic there are more black "Latinos".

Marciano was a white man.
