    Why so much talk about "slick black boxers"..

    The best guys in game are clearly white or latino. Canelo, Lopez, Usyk, Fury, Taylor..

    Where is this obsession with "black" boxers coming from?

    Probably 70+ years or so of boxing history?

      Cause back then slick boxers dominated the fight game. From robinson to ali to Leonard to Whittaker to froid. But now they're just black boxers without the slickness. The "slick" fighters now are carnelo, bjs and lomachenko. Aside from loma the bar has really been lowered

        It's the sliqueness not the blackness that makes them stand out.

        Fury and Alvarez are both slique
