Who are the 10 greatest American black fighters of all time

[Motofan]

Not wanting this to come off the wrong way, but picking the 10 greatest Black American boxers? Good ****ing luck with that. Every time I try to start a list I think of more people. There are a ton of GREAT fighters on that list. Its like asking me to name the top 10 fighters from Mexico ever. You have a few names you can't leave out, but then its wide open with great fighters.

a list like this is hard to do, I just noticed i left off pernell whitaker SMDH


If you look at most lists, most top ten all time lists have at least 4 AA fighters on it.
