    White Europeans tend to be the biggest in terms of size. Followed by Black Americans. Followed by Hispanics. Followed by Asians.

    Each group tends to dominate their respective range of weight classes.

      american boxing has been in decline for a while now whilst europe has improved, and a lot on here know it, it hence the hostility towards fighters like GGG, lomachenko, fury, brook etc from insecure posters

        Who cares? boxing is growing as a worldwide sport so we're seeing champs from all sorts of places that we may not have seen in the past. Like now there's world champs from UK, USA, Poland, Mexico, Sweden, Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, Philippines and the list goes on....

        It's a good time for boxing world wide. People need to forget the past where it was mostly dominate but a few countries and just embrace it's a worldwide sport now and belts are going to be held from many different places. It's great to see champs from all over the world.

        I suppose training facilities and knowledge of the sport is spreading more which means young from all over the place are getting better training, where in the past a couple of countries were probably way ahead.

        And then you have to consider boxing is not as mainstream as popular as it was in the past, it's been declining for a couple of decades compared to how it was. So a lot young people are not going to be as drawn to it as in the past and will probably be more interested in other sports.

        There's probably a lot of reasons why.

        Just different times now.

              BS. Go to the NBA and NFL and you'll see a lot of big black men. Black men are just as big than white men.

                    OP forgot to mention that Americans have only one undefeated champ with a solid resume in pro boxing

                    The only thing that Americans can do right now is remembering these old ass times when pro boxing wasn't international and other fighters from some certain countries weren't allowed to participate so Americans didn't have any competition. That's why their ATGs are only americans.

                    These old times when others weren't able to participate - this is the last excuse that Americans have, actually.

                    But nobody wants to hear that **** right now, who cares what happened in the past, that's not an excuse why your ass is not relevant at this current moment.

                    And they won't even be able to use that last excuse after 10-15 years from now
