    I'm half-asian/white and thats some bull****, infact right now is quite a bad period for white fighters (if Latinos aren't considered white)

    Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Willie Pep, Jimmy Wilde, Niccolino Locche, Joe Calzaghe, Gene Tunney, Carlos Monzon, Benny Leonard, Jake Lamotta, Kostya Tszyu, Jeff Fenech, Ray Mancini.

    Off the top of my head all GREAT fighters.
    Plenty good white fighters out their and more coming through

        people will always cheer on those who they feel have similarities to, whether that be race, color nationality, or religion. Human beings are naturally biased its in our DNA.

            Tszyu is like what 15% asian? I myself am about 15% mexican and 85% white, but i don't consider my self a latino person, because i look white.

              Tszyu = Russian, Korean & Mongolian

              I've always thought Italians were White?

              I'm Asian/European and I'll support anyone that I like. The whole race loyalty thing is lost on me.

                half-truth....but there are always exceptions.


                for instance, i wanted sergio martinez to beat the **** outta P-Will, and i was happy he did so.


                aside from mayweather, hopkins, and dawson being my favorite fighters, any other match-up in boxing, i pick and choose.

                      It's funny how confused people can be about a obvious thing like race and ethnicity, there are some italians that are white and then there are some that are brown. It is the same in latin american countries as well, there are dark hispanics and light skinned hispanics. Saul Alvarez is hispanic but he is white, Pao Gasol is also hispanic but he is white. Sergio Martinez, contrary to what some people on this forum believe is NOT white, he is a light brown hispanic man.
