Racial Genetics in boxing

[Fulcrum29]

well it's true the white slave masters BRED the strongest black ****** like cattle so that they can work harder in the fields and such and thus a lot of their progeny to this day inherits their superior stronger black genes.

"we have 99.9% in common with every human that has ever lived.. and we focus on the .01% we have different.."


100 - 99.9 is .1, but what you fail to mention is that we have 99.9% of our genes in common with all other mammals, too...and yet there are are one or two salient characteristics that differ between mice and elephants, yes?

Yeah, semantics aside.. My point still stands.. and I was referring ONLY to humanity.. Not all life on earth..

no your point doesn't stand. it doesn't matter what the percentage is, we have big differences in races that's why they are called races. (physical differences that is)

But if this is true and if it adequately explains the dominance of blacks in sports for so many decades then wouldn't every generation of blacks post civil war in America be physically weaker than the last?

not sure why they would be weaker? are you saying those strong genes would be diluted little by little? That's not necessarily the case because maybe they will be slightly diluted but that would be more than adequately made up for by the strong concentration of african americans on sports/athletics, urban culture's promotion of ripped physiques/weightlifting/alphamale posturing etc which would then strengthen those original genetics

[Pullcounter]

Is there any benifit or hinderince from being Black, White, Samoan, Mexican, Asian ect?

ie - White guys cut bad, Samoans have bigger bone structures and take a punch better?

Just curious what the general feel is here

NO RACISIM

race doesn't mean anything.

economics has more to do with boxing than race. if you're poor, you're scrappier and hungrier and willing to hurt other people physically to get your way.

if you're rich, you get other people to do that for you.

Add:

Continued breeding amongst themselves along with work-ethic and diet.
There wasn't a lot of interracial breeding up until more recently.

I once heard "Soul Food" is really "Slave Food."
High Carbs; High Fat; High Protein to keep the body strong and energized to work the fields.

since I was a kid i believe that koreans have very strong chins but weak breadbaskets...

It is true

viva korea!

No I am suggesting that perhaps generations and generations of enslavement is the cause of enhanced physical attributes, and it gave blacks and edge in sport for a while. Now generations and generations of living in a general population may have put blacks on or near and equal level physical with everyone else, especially with how sedentary people are in modern times. It's just an idea and it may explain why there are more white champions in boxing now.

wow didn't know that. but I suppose you're right maybe:

1. interbreeding over the past 100 years between african americans and whites caused the dillution of some of those specifically bred strong genes or

2. interbreeding between blacks and whites creates a super race since it potentially combines the strengths of african american genes (fast twitch muscles) and the strength of whites of european/scandinavian/slavic descent who are proven to be the physically strongest people in the world, holding all purely strength related records in the world
