    Dark skin has many fewer elastic fibers and is more firm compared to softer fair skinned people. This makes it easier for fair skinned fighters to cut and become bruised in a boxing match. This is also why dark skin ages/wrinkles slower. Dark skin is even said to be more resistant to arthropod insect bites.

    Check out the first chapter of the book black skin: Structure and function by william montagna, giuseppe prota, and john a. Kenney jr.

    http://books.google.com/books?id=bpl...page&q&f=false

    this may also give them a slight edge with judges as many will take facial damage into consideration. Just a little information boxing fans might want to keep in mind.

    The epidermis of black skin contains less glutathione than white skin.
    (reduced glutathione may be responsible for skin color. Inhibition of epidermal glutathione system leads to darker skin, and glutathione in the epidermis has been shown to inhibit melanogenesis.)

    in the epidermis of white skin, hyperpigmentation or tanning is always followed by a drop in glutathione reductase and reduced glutathione.

    Black skin have larger melanosomes than white skin.

    Black skin has a higher electrical resistance than white skin, which suggests
    greater cohesion and thickness.

    Black skin has more and larger fibroblasts than white skin. The fibroblasts in
    black skin are also more multi-nucleated. This can lead to more abnormal scarring and keloid formation.

    Black skin also has larger mast cell granules than white skin, which may also play a part in keloid formation.

    The stratum corneum of black skin has more layers and stronger cells than in white skin.

    Black skin and asian skin have thicker and more compact dermis than white skin. This is also why blacks and asians have fewer facial wrinkles than whites.

    Black skin has more casual lipids and more moisture in the stratum corneum than white skin.

    Black skin sheds its outer layers more (increased desquamation) than white skin

    black skin has 50% lower ceramides than white or hispanic skin. Asians have the highest skin ceramide levels.

    Black and indian skin has two times more alkali-insoluble melanin (darker dhi-enriched eumelanin) than white skin, hispanic skin and chinese skin.

    Black skin has a lower ph than white skin.

    What does this mean?

    The differences between our skin can determine several things.

    Effectiveness of topical skin lightening creams and lotions

    safety of chemical peels and skin laser treatments

    our skin’s healing response to wounds and the formation of abnormal scars.

          yes but as others have already established in the thread they also have smaller brains which equalizes the advantage as they're less intelligent than white fighters

            havent seen the book. What group (university) of dermatologists wrote this book. why wont you cite it for me. im not gonna through 15 pages of blogs to find the post. Im sure you can cite for me since you claim a bunch of scientists have proven that darker skin equates to higher resistance to mechanical damage.

              boxing commission should allow the use of sand paper to lighten up the skin of dark fighters to make the fight fair dawg

                no they should drug white boxers with opiates to reduce their intelligence down to the level of black fighters to keep it even

                  I am pretty sure that even when they tested different races within the same socio-economic class Asians and Whites still undoubtedly scored higher (on average).

                  It is not pulling 1000 black guys from the ******, then rounding up 1000 white harvard graduates and comparing the two. I agree that would not be accurate or fair at all.

                    1. your point is true, they did in most tests i've seen.

                    2. ask yourself WHY are 99% of world's blacks socio-economically "poor"? Is it becauase A. they are intellectually inferior and unable to exist in a civilized manner? or B. because they were 'enslaved' for so long by other races

                    if B. then WHY were they enslaved by other races? Is it because they are inferior to them intellectually and were unable to fight back?

                    Each way you look at it points to the same answer in the end
