No announcement yet.
As an African American, I have to admit that our dominance in boxing is waning...

The truth is, Dawson was a huge disappointment for me, especially since Froch beat up Pascal. And you all know how much I wanted Dawson to succeed. Yeah, he's skillful, but he ain't no wifebeater. he isn't gonna replace wifebeater as the best black fighter in boxing.
solid prospects, but nothing great. For all the solid prospects, there are a ton of lame ducks. I was expecting a lot out of Mike Jones, but was once against disappointed. I still give Jones the benefit of the doubt cause he fought ****** and blew his load early, but still very amatuerish.
yeah, but no champions. 126 and down, it's all latinos or asians.
You also forgot to mention Tarvoris Cloud, pretty good LHW right there.
And, those prospects will be the future and are pretty good, even Mike Jones he was just matched tough against Soto Karrass and fought dumb in round 2 that hurt him later.
Gary Russell is very skilled in a couple years he will be champ at 126.
And, you also got Olympian Rau'shee Warren who will turn pro and be below 126 and will probably be pretty damn good.
Also have the Deontay Wilder at HW, still young and got good size. Who knows what he accomplishes.
Point is that the greatness or skill or whatever point you are trying to title black fighters are not dwindling. They will be OK.

You're not much of a boxing fan if you don't even know that Johnson is Jamaican, not Haitian.
Originally posted by Pullcounter View PostAt 168 lbs... there's only 2 guys of note there: Glen Johnson and Andre Ward. But guess what, Johnson isn't AA, he's haitian. And personally, I think Johnson outworks Ward. Don't even mention Andre Dirrell. He fights in the AA stylel and is a *****.Last edited by Floyd R; 11-20-2010, 08:15 PM.

Tavoris Cloud is somebody that will probably go some places. And I don't think Johnson will beat Ward but I hope he does. Kirkland is a dumb ass.

In my own opinion, nowadays,there are a lot of RUSSIANS and CUBANS dominating the professional boxing, gone were the days when Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Tyson, Hagler Leonard, Pryor were dominant figures in boxing area!
boxers today has become scientific, taller and quicker.
unfortunately, one of those african american boxer undefeated floyd jr., simply prefer to protect his own "0" !
