Why dearth of Black heavyweights?

Says the poster defending fighters who don't even exist.

The reason there is many successful african american athletes is not because african people have better genetics, but the group of africans transported to america to work as ****** does.

This is because, firstly, the slave traders looked for the strongest, fittest looking men and the most healthy, fertile women.

Secondly, the conditions on the boat were terrible, diasease, poor food. Only the healthiest with strong immune systems made it.

Third, the ****** were worked like dogs, and led active lifestyles which developed their bodies. Not saying they evolved, but strong, hardened people who are fit tend to produce children with greater capibilities to be strong, healthy and fit.

So there you have it. If eskimos had been rounded up in the same way, there would be a population of athletic eskimos.

okay guys, disregard the rational post, and continue trolling

This.


Think of it as a champion race horse, everyone wants their female horse to have that champion horse's baby because of the genetics it has. They pretty much took the best AA's and bred them together, and now we have all these genetic freaks out there.

The only people who buy into the whole "slave breeding" MYTH (that has been proven wrong by historians btw) are racist whites lol

There was no wide spread breeding by slave owners, sorry

You put a west african athlete in an African american athletes place.....with the same nutrition,training facilities, etc etc he'll be just as dominate

The problem is,

Its not just heavyweights that Europeans have taken over.

Cruiser, Super Mid, Mid are all dominated by Euros

Yes, maybe some black americans go into the NFL and thats why theres no heavyweights.

But that argument doesnt hold true for the rest of boxing, and smaller divisions

and the fact is Europeans have been owning Americans repeatedly for like 10 years now

lol...

Sorry but its true. Europeans have taken over boxing, and this trend will only INCREASE because what we see in AMs now will show itself in pros in 5, 10 yrs time.

Dirrell and Ward by themselves took over the Super Middleweight division. And if not one of them, than Lucian Bute who is Canadian and not European like u might have thought.

Middleweight division is dominated by Martinez, Williams, and Pavlik. We'll see what Pirog does with his future, and Sturm may be up there, but we'll see.

Any lower than that dominant Europeans r no where to be found. Possibly due to the fact those weight have a more varied ethnic groups. So Europeans r making a big splash in the higher division, and yet the lower division get all the attention. Hmm...
