Why do Black American Boxers often punch the hardest?

Why do Black American boxers often hit the hardest? When you think of most of the hardest punchers in Boxing history most of them are Black American. Look at the Heavyweight division British boxers are usually the best but in the last era a lanky Black American boxer who was very light in weight compared to his opponent hit harder than all the Boxers in his division. This is not for all Black American boxers obviously Devin Haney wouldn’t be mentioned but alot. Why is this other ethnicities hit hard too but there’s not as many as Black Americans ethnic group as a whole why ? Anyone got a theory (

I don't think it is entirely true though from a perspective it might appear so. You mentioned heavyweight. That right there cuts out a lot of perhaps latino fighters that hit hard, however they just don't grow into heavyweight sized humans. Andy Ruiz was an exception mostly being fat but not the height and he hits Okay, though it's not enough if you're talking numbers of them going up to heavyweight to know for sure. Cause... there are a lot of lesser hitting heavyweight black dudes as well.

Tommy Morrison hit hard, but again, I guess you don't see too many white heavyweights, at least now nowadays. So they're outnumbered.

So if you remove heavyweight altogether, I'd say it's not just black dudes that hit hardest. Valero from South America had a 100% KO ratio... Tons of strong Mexicans, Ricans, etc. It just comes down to who you're seeing fight the most these days and for what division.

Its debatable but if true the main reason can be attributed to how much OP likes BBC.

Not as hard as Foreman,Tyson,Shavers and Wilder. Im not saying others can’t hard. Im saying why is the Black American usually the hardest hitter

Im not saying it’s just them. Im saying they usually are the hardest hitters

it's not because they hit hard, it's because most of the people they KO (black americans) have no chin. get your autism in check, son.

well black guys run the fastest and its not just black americans so it could follow they might strike the hardest all other things being equal i think there were studies done on stuff like this in the past with muscle fibers being tested and all that cant remember now

Personally I think that generally speaking, pound-for-pound, fighters from South American countries hit the hardest overall. Not sure why, gotta be something in their genetics obviously.

They're typically not the most skillful boxers out there, but any time you see a Brazilian, Argentinian, Venezuelan etc., chances are they have very heavy hands.
