Where all the good black american boxers in the lighter weight classes?

[ShoulderRoll]

LOL, do you even watch boxing?

Colbert, Stevenson, Fulton, Aleem just to name a few 130 and below.

Exactly.

And at 147 (the weight division of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard) there is Spence, Crawford, Thurman and Porter.

There's Jermell Charlo. Shakur Stevenson. Gervonta Davis.

OP really mentioned Hagler, a middleweight. And there are tons of Black middleweights. ****** thread if I've ever seen one. LOL.

I firmly believe the explosion in the salaries of NFL and NBA players gutted a whole generation of black americans who may have gone into boxing as heavyweights but chose otherwise. Leaving that aside where are the modern day equivalents to Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard? These were not big guys and definitely didn't have the frames to have entered the NFL.

We had Floyd I suppose but even he's old news now. Where are the prospects?

Pretty obvious.
They've been erased.
back then they had much sh***ier competition to deal with, now they cant hang.
Those old school guys, theyre successors are journeymen now.

You got guys bringing up guys like Colbert, Fulton(Adam Lopez victim), Aleem(hasnt done ****), journeyman Joshua Greer, Russell(robbed Payano) says it all really.

You got Crawford guys on here legitimately scared Ortiz could pull it off.
so even at welterweight theyre not safe.

sad part is peoples excuse is too little small blacks.
theres very little mexicans at higher weight classes, but they are much better per capita than blacks are at the lower ones by a mile.

Truth hurts.

THIS!

As well as Gary Antonio Russell and Josh Greer at 118

Is he trying to say there's no good black fighters from 160 on down? What the hell's going on here.

No, I think he's trying to say the exact opposite, but it seems like he was using voice to text or something. Reading his OP, it seems as if the title should read "Why are all the black fighters 160 and below" rather than " Where all the black fighters..."

Haha, oh ok. It looks like a thread title you'd find on Adult Friend Finder to be honest.
