Will there ever be a Black Heavyweight Champion? now that Russia owns HW Divison

[jrosales13]

Black HW champion? Yes of course. Will there be a black ATG HW ever again? That remains to be seen. But, a champion? I have no doubt in my mind that there would be another one.

nah come on we can all make our jokes in fun and games about other races and their athletic prowess in certain sports, and lack thereof in others. it all comes down to socioeconomic factors, and a bunch of complex **** that grooms certain strengths while inhibiting others. i saw someone do a thesis on it, and it made sense. very very complex. but it has been proven time and time again there is no such thing as a "superior race" in any aspect of life.

Why does that matter?

[Sweet Jesus]

Russia controls the HW division?

Sadly all the top African American Heavy Weight Athletes are probably offensive defensive linemen and tight ends in the NFL

I doubt it. As Bob Arum said, "if Muhammed Ali were in his prime today he'd be a tight end in football."

No because they've just invented American Football

Yes, it was invented right around the time the Klitschkos reached their prime.

There was NO American Football and American Basketball in the 60, 70s, 80s, or 90s.

[Bastian Loc]

Yes, there will be.

Race has nothing to do with it.

There will be some very good African-American heavyweights come along within five years.

And keep in mind, it's just the Klitschkos that are dominant ATG heavyweights - all the other European fighters are beatable. So once the Klitschkos retire, soon afterwards there will be another African-American heavyweight champion.

lol... I love it when Tunney acts diplomatic.

To the thread.

Everyone knows the answer is no.

If America experiences some kind of economic meltdown comparable to the great depression, then maybe. Failing that, Euros have it on lockdown.

[Sweet Jesus]

Don't we have a black heavyweight champ right now?

[Drunk Punch]

When did David Haye become Russian. And he's fairly black too - at least 50%.
