the black europeans appreciation thread

Surely a communist revolutionary from Africa could have emigrated and had a son who wasn't as intellectually talented as his parents and decided to spread the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary word with his fists rather than rhetoric.

I mean it's possible.

Though there is the issue of soviets not being able to turn professional to add to this problem.

Well yeah it is possible I guess... just as possible as there might be a black fighter from Japan or China....

hey what about Don Diego Poeder from holland, super cool mother****er good with the ladies and could fight. i was his sparring partner when we both lived in L.A. the guy could fight, i thought he was a for sure champ until robert daniels knocked him out and destroyed his confidence. after that fight he was never the same

Nice thanks, never heard of him though.

There are black fighters based in Japan.

Chinese haven't generally been allowed to turn professional until recently.

Okay, here's my next question.

Who is the greatest black european fighter of all time EXCLUDING British fighters?

There are black fighters based in Japan.

Chinese haven't generally been allowed to turn professional until recently.

Being based in Japan is not the same thing as being Japanese though.

True, we're going for guyd that are born in that country, or at least lived there for the majority of their life.

[Still Pimpin]

Just boxers??? if not, this guys punches hard as well

He either needs to do K-1 or get a ground game, other than that his stand up is pretty mean.

So is it ethnicity or citizenship that you are after?

I think dans is pretty ******* in what he defines as being from a country.

So just having citizenship doesn't qualify him?

Ok, this is an addendum to the quest.

I'm pretty ******* but I'd say citizenship is more important than ethnicity for this purpose. For instance, Lennox Lewis was born to Jamaican parents, but we're considering him British.
