    How come Europe keeps producing good white fighters like Calzaghe, Vitali, Wladimir, Froch, Kessler, Povetkin, etc., while America only produces good black and south-of-America fighters nowadays?

      3: Tommy Morrison
      4: Gene Tunney
      5: Joe Smith Jr.
      6: Chris Algieri
      7: Butterbean

      I'm not sure, though. How do you see it? And remember, Mexicans and South Americans and Puerto Ricans, generally anything from south of USA, such as Danny Garcia, doesn't count.

      And by the way, let's be mature an keep racism out of this thread, it's just to find interesting information through history.
      What a random list.

        I don't consider myself well versed in boxing history but that list is an attempt at humour, right?

          Don't tell me you're one of those typical Quarry haters, right? The guy was very good and no other white American boxer has a resume like his.

            Paulie Malignaggi is a 2-weight champion. He's still active.

                I'm talking about best white fighters.

                American black people are great warriors, but it looks like American white people usually just doesn't have any warrior mentality... While Europe produces one good white after another, like Fury.

                Why are white Americans inferior boxers, in modern time, to white Europeans?

                  Resume? Yea, he fought everyone...but he also lost to almost every notable name and some that weren't notable. I don't know how you can go back as far as tunney, but ignore guys like willie pep, benny leaonard, rocky marciano, jack dempsey, harry greb, stanley ketchel...and the list goes on.
