how come the majority of heavyweights of the past were black?

Soviets weren't allowed to turn pro until the 1990s because of the cold war.

Now Soviets are allowed to turn pro and we're already dominating.

The strongest, baddest, toughest humans on the planet are from Eastern Europe.

ahhaha couldn't have said it better myself

in the future the main language on this forum will be russian

if an athlete looks black but turns out to be half white, then it'd be false to say he's a black athlete. he's just as much white as he is black.

Keep it real. In America, if you have some black in you, you're considered black.

Except if you go to prison.

[Hannibal Barca]

facts and stats are clearly relevant.

did you know ali is 1/8th irish? or henry armstrong was more than half indian? or that andre ward is half white?

Nope, not in this sense. Being 1/8 this, or being 1/4 that, is irrelevant.

I did indeed, and that's all irrelevant, as each and everyone of them are considered to be African American.

well i'm going to sleep.

just wanted to finish up and say racism or black/white nationalism or whatever you want to call it is for uneducated goons. caring about an athlete's race, or any man's for that matter, is probably a sign of an undiagnosed mental illness. or at least someone who's momma didn't teach em right

1. Anderson "4 losses" Silva can't hold Fedor's jockstrap. Don't believe the UFC hype machine bull****.

Fedor is the greatest of all time and #1 p4p fighter in the world


2. lol at you mentioning a sprinter. How are sprinters "bad and tough"?

3. lol at you mentioning a golfer

4. football is an american sport and the strongest player in the NFL is Ukrainian Igor Olshansky.

5. Messi is the best soccer player in the world. Ronaldhino didn't even make Brazil's roster for the world cup

6. basketball is a ***** sport. all of the players are soft and can't fight for ****.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. greatest post in the history of this forum

[The Hammer]

Ronaldinho Gaúcho - Considered by many to be the greatest soccer player of his era.

he's mixed

Anderson Silva - Considered to be the P4P best MMA fighter in the world, above Fedor Emelianenko.

No, he's not as good as Fedor

Tiger Woods - Considered to be the best golfer in the world by far.

He's 1/2 Asian, 1/4 white and 1/4 black. You can't claim him.

[Hannibal Barca]

cause during slavery they breeded the strongest ****** together to make stronger ******

Probably had to do more with culture rather then nature.

There is likely some truth to all these comments.

I noticed African-American boxers are on average faster and more athletic on average than African boxers. Does that have to do with the mixing of the genes, or "hybrid vigor" as biologists call it? Gamboa, Haye and Sillakh (all of mixed race) seem to be naturally faster than most white AND black boxers.

African Americans do better than Africa due to their socioeconomic status. If Africans had the training facilities, trainers and nutrition like African Americans they would do extremely well if not better than AA
