What boxing needs is more real champions period. The best fighting the best and not ducking anybody. That will be bring glory back to boxing and will inspire young people to be great in the sport.Comment

Teenage white kids need some boxers to look up to, guys like Kelly Pavlik who give hope to a Youngstown community in bad economic times. Other than Pavlik there is no one else to look up to. White youths have all those white UFC fighters and can relate to them. They in a way can associate with those fighters and where they came from. That is something they cannot do with hispanic or european fighters who dont speak english.
Sturm, Abraham, Pavlik (2), Bute, Froch, Kessler, Balzsay, Diaconu, Garay, Erdei, Fragomeni, Adamek, Valuev/Chagaev, V. Klitschko, W. Klitschko (2).
What more do you want?
The Klitschkos are excellent role models, as are others such as Adamek.Comment

Of the 20 world titles from middleweight to heavyweight, 17 are held by white boxers, 2 by black boxers, and one by a Hispanic boxer.

I thought Garay was considered hispanic? Im just nitpicking, but hes from Argentina, right?(even if hes white skinned moslty)
and what about Afolabi, that one hispanic guy that got that upset not long ago, Dawson, and G. Jones?
but anyways yea, your point is well made. difference is, the only white American champ is Pavlik. which does matter, we cant pretend nationalism doesnt count for anything.Comment
