"Mayweather. RJJ. Ali. Foreman. Lewis. Holyfield. Ward. I could go on and on and on. Threads like these are good, it shows which people that really hates the fact that boxing is historically dominated by black fighters."


This is more of a product of demographics than anything else. Boxing has always been a poor mans sport, and black communities in the U.S. have been historically poor.

Once the Soviet Union fell we saw a lot of eastern euros finally gain access to gyms and enjoy sports freedom to train. This is why we are seeing such a great crop of talent from Europe now days.

The guys voting were :
Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman, Al Bernstein, Steve Farhood, Rich Marotta, Lou DiBella, Chris Middendorf, Tim Dahlberg, Ed Schuyler Jr, Cliff Rold, Kevin Iole.

I think they are capable of putting together a fair list.

Which boxers under 140 have dominated boxing? Fact is YOU forget that there are lower weight classes and those are usually dominated by non black fighters so who really has an agenda other posters or you?

This; in regards to the Euro's (specifically eastern europeans) they didn't have access to the professional side of the sport because of the communism. I think this will soon change as well.

Each race has had some amazing fighters. I wish boxing was like other sports where the best fight the best. Unfortunately it is not with factors like drugs, fighters of the past drawing color lines, boring fighters not getting fights (ex. Rigondeaux), exposure due to marketability or lack thereof (ex. Crawford), and corrupt judging an answer to this type of question is very difficult.

Regardless with the information that has been given to us by historians, and championship lineages it is apparent that African Americans have a higher percentage of all-time greats (I myself have only seen a handful of fights from before the 80's).

A beautiful thing about boxing is that despite all this I can't think of any sport in which there are champions from so many different countries. Dominant champions can be found from all regions of the world. In most other sports due to culture, access, late adoptance, or millions of other factors it is the same few countries dominating each sport. I am referring to sports like football, futbol, baseball, hockey, rugby, and cricket.

Why so much focus on race??

[Zaroku]

I love boxers who leave it all in the ring.... Heart is heart... Wrapped in different skin tones.

I live in Japan now... I see heart in all people.

No heart in government!

People are cool, globally... Gov... Same **** globally!

so called blacks n latinos IMO

[Adonis Creed]

Can't really say the Latinos have the most fearless warriors tbh. Its an opinion and with guys like Cotto who's scared of any middleweight who's not weight drained or crippled and Marquez who was scared to step in there with PROVODNIKOV lol. Even Sergio wouldn't go near GGG.
