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.

Not really.

Gamboa is an Afro-Cuban.

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

I second this post.

Not really.

Gamboa is an Afro-Cuban.

Gamboa is a mix of white (Spanish) and Black (African). He looked almost like a white guy when he was fighting Rogers Mtagwa.

Again, Gamboa is Afro-Cuban.
