Native American Boxers

[BostonGuy]

Thanks everyone. Monzon & Lopez both amazing.

I am not only thinking of World Class. ANY fighter from that ethnicity would be great. Thanks. I remember a heavyweight from a generation back, Joe Hipp. Not great but half way there.

I was gonna mention Joe Hipp. He had some good memorable hw battles in the early 90s; most notably against Tommy Morrison.

I would guess that a large percentage of boxers from Latin America have at least some Indian ancestry. Orlando Salido is supposedly of Yaqui heritage-- not sure how much though. I believe Victor Rabanales and Wilbert Uicab are Mayan. Henry Armstrong was part Native American.

hector thompson I think was an Australian aboriginal...and didn't duran have some aboriginal blood? hector thompson and roberto duran both fought each other at lightweight and apparently duran says that thompson was the hardest body puncher he has ever faced..

Now this is a classy sub plot. Aboriginal boxers.

I believe I was told Jack Dempsey was part American Indian. He was from out in Colorado, so I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility. He definitely appears in pictures to have some non-European ancestry.

The Iroquois don't mess around.....neither do the Siouxie, Apache or Cherokee....well Cherokee kind o had like a "white man's league" where they viewed things differently from the "elders"

Indians are people of the land......honest and true people
