      Black people are more gifted athletically imo, but they also Box more intelligent than white fighters. White fighters for some reason seem to think Boxing is about trying to be aggressive as possible regardless whether you leave yourself open or not.

      Boxing is about who is smarter not who has bigger cajones, thats why Hatton got blasted by Mayweather, Floyd fights smart and Hatton fights wrecklessly but i dont think many of us would argue that Hatton is not tougher.

              Black boxers tend to box more than brawl.

                  Its not but i think Black fighters like to look good when they win not just win and look bad. I think each race has its own ideals of how they should fight.

                  Black people expect to see a slick Black fighter and Mexican's expect a tough rugged give one to take one etc etc.

                    but most of the fastest boxers of all time are black: roy jones, meldrick taylor, floyd patterson, muhammad ali
                    hardest punchers: george foreman, max baer, julian jackson, jack dempsey
                    toughest boxers: joe grim, battling nelson, arturo gatti, rocky marciano
                    Most? You named 4 fast boxers and thats supposed to represent the most?? Sorry mate, but you're way off. And the toughest boxers have always been multicoloured.
