Is Just Size a Dominant Factor - Klitschkos, etc

[leff]

i read something about races some time back,cant remeber where though.

anyway i said that blacks are more explosive but whites are stronger (especially slavs).

didnt say anything about stamina ore chin.

[dempseyfire]

saying blacks are naturally more athletic and have better chins is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Breathe easier due to bigger nostrils? Where did you pull that out of your ass . . . .?? It's like Im reading some turn of the century British anthropologist . . .

I expect everyone to be a grown up and not to turn this into racism. This is a boxing forum and I don't see why race in sports cannot be discussed.

"Breathe easier due to bigger nostrils? Where did you pull that out of your ass . . . .??"

No, not my ass... Humans are about 1Mil years old; The 'Modern Human' is about 6,000 years old. As any species we all adopt to the geographic environment we live in.
Black people have dark skin due to the worm climate. Black person can be exposed to the sun a lot longer than the white without getting burned.
White people have small nostrils, this is due to the winter and the cold air they breath.
As same as we are all are, we are somewhat differences.

The information about black athletes I listed in the original post came from an African American course I took back in college. I was taught that, again due to the geographic environment.

Thus this also applies in Sports..
Asian have the best reflexes: Ping Pong, Kong-Fu, etc..
Black have the fastest legs: Sprinters, American Football, etc
White, like someone mentioned, are best swimmers, etc
Latin best boxers in light weight, etc

I think VK's Size definately Helps him, I mean lets say he was the size of Ruiz, or Byrd, the way his jab doesn't quite snap like the likes of Lewis, i think he would get soundly beaten, plus the size is always a hard thing for a smaller boxer to overcome.

Having said that he does have some skill, for a flat footed, rather slowish fighter

Yes but if he wasnt as big he probably wouldnt be as mechanical, he would be more mobile and probably been a better boxer.

Yeah I think I read somewhere that white people used to swim a lot 1 million years ago in arctic Europe. I think that's how they lost their fur. I think they swam right through the last ice age.

Oh, and I think size is an advantage if used properly

[dansweeney]

all it will take to kayo vitali is a heavyweight with a solid chin, decent power, and most important, excellent stamina. the guy looks like he could fall over just on pure exhaustion if he gets in the later rounds. why is that? because of his tremendous size. he can only build so much stamina at 6'8. if he gets in a competitive fight into the championship rounds he will go down HARD, and probably retire.

[chaawuu]

that first post is filled with the most bull**** i've read in a while. it's a known fact that blacks are more athletic? where are your sources? known fact my ****ing ass. you made that **** up.

[hollister]

I'm waiting for someone to say the Earths gravitational pull is stronger on black people so they have a tendency to sink.

???????????????

Hadn't thought of that one lol

Would have probably gotten a rise lol

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

With Vitali it's definatly an advantage...

But with Bernard it doesn't really matter that he's taller... What's important is that he weighs 160lbs the day before the fight.
