NSB, how come there are no more great White lower weight fighters?

[Khalid X]

there are tons of white ******s...they are called Trailer parks

Im gonna say something that most may find border line racist, but whites really dont have it hard in america as compared to back in the day.

Go watch gangs of New York or read on the plights of Irish, Italians, ***s and others in america. Those guys got ****ting on almost as bad as black, and had to get ahead by any means necessary. This is why you see the same cultures that were big in mobs/organized crime also thrive in boxing. Boxing is a poor mans sport and was also another means for those guys to get ahead.

Again go beyond calling those guys white and see where they were really from. I guarantee most will be either Irish, Italian, ***s or another ****ty on culture at the time.

cmon dude, i cant believe people have trouble identifying white.


not asian, not hispanic/latin american, not african, not american black, but white;

anglo saxons, viking descendants, irish, british whites, russians, italians etc.


what happened to all the lower weight fighters? You mean to tell me paulie malignaggi is the best since what ricky hatton? before that who was it? ken bucannan? wayne mccollough?

what happened to the next barney ross or benny leonard?

wow, you are tripping.

there are white hispanics whos decendents come from spain. there are white africans too. sicilian italians are of black desecent. that ethnicity of italians come about from italians and blacks mating with one another

I don't know what the average height is, but there are lots of small guys in football (look at the spanish national team for example). There are thousands of well paid profesional football players in the world, it's the sport with the biggest talent pool, by far.

You mean to tell me there are NBA and NFL players that would have been great HWs?

great? who knows? i wouldnt look in the NBA though since theyre mostly all ******* who shy away from physicality.
NFL maybe, especially maybe a tall, athletic, coordinated defensive end like a julius peppers.

nah, i agree. thats when white americans were racist against other white imigrants like the ***s, italians, polish etc

but the whites im talking about(inthe country) are those whites that are true ************* as well. they believe-in, they are not their brothers keeper at all-to any extent. dont want any assistance or help. so they struggle. b/c "they dont want the govt taking away their rights"

i live in florida where people forget how country it is down here. they forget that red counties outnumbers the blue two to one.

alot of these folks that were voting for bush, drive around in buckets, houses look like ****, live in trailer parks and **** but they are so against the govt. at the same time, they forget that bush's/repub policies dont aid them in anyway.

they dont make a fraction of the income to qualify for the tax brackets bush's policies were giving breaks to. so it still puzzles me why they vote the way they do when they dont reap any benefits

great? who knows? i wouldnt look in the NBA though since theyre mostly all ******* who shy away from physicality.

Then you agree that there could be potential great fighters playing football too?

[Pirao]

That answer's not completely valid either. the smallest division they have in mma is 145lbs. doesnt exactly qualify as "lower weights"

No it isn't...

[Siggy]

The nfl & nba taking all the big athletic black guys that's why there is a dearth of talented black americans in the heavys is at least is a valid excuse. Big money elite soccer taking all the white athletes who could have been great flyweights, bantamweights, & featherweights is not.

ehhh, i at least thought you were on the right track.
you cant agree with one argument and dismiss the other. they are the same.

but there is one caveat though, neither argument excuses the lack of smaller white american fighters.

[Siggy]

Then you agree that there could be potential great fighters playing football too?

yes, i agree.

[HandSpeed303]

fo shizzle. these fools with their knee jerk mma reaction. mma just barely started in the early 90s. & even when they started they werent taking all the athletic white people with the physical frames of a featherweight, flyweight, & bantamweight.


If you answered mma you are a ****ing moron.

Okay..

[Boxin']

Did TS forget the great PAULIE MALIGNAGGI?
