What happen to Italian American boxers?

[boxingfan91]

When you make a generalization about a certain culture that "you know" and its a derogatory one at that you will get a reply.
The reply is from an Italian who thinks your a BSer and a self confused liar!
I'm not bitter I'm tired of little azzholes talking sh*! about fighters and people that they don't even know!

The cultures that dominated this sport in the early 1900 through the 1950 are not involved as they once were. Everyone knows that but you come out with the expression "soft". When you insult a culture and it's a lie expect to get challenged on it.

You don't represent a conscience of the general public either.
Your just looking for a confrontation, this is your main event! HA!

Just another kid who has a need for attention so making a garbage statement on a personal topic is his only way of getting it.

Chao sonny I think if you go to your local Italian Club they'll be a few men there who will help your education on cultures out.

enough of you

Sorry bro, youre softer than Charmin so deal wif it

That's not true and you know it....if they could they would.

Italians just don't have it anymore...whatever they had the Brothers beat out of them.

You know a mofo is outta gas when he starts quoting nonsense from Comedians.

Black power my brudda.

The majority of successful boxers today come from poverty. Look at May and Pac as your two prime examples. in the 20s-50s there were alot of americans boxers from italian descent because they came from poverty. A few generations have passed and its no longer needed for them to get their face smashed in to get payed. The majority of american boxers you see these days are mexican and black.

Many ATG's didn't come from poverty

Mayweather didn't come from squalor.

I don't understand why White americans claim they don't have to get punched in the face anymore in boxing....yet they are in MMA getting kicked in the face for PEANUTS.

Black power my brudda.

If they could...they would.

Look at MMA....full of whites of all Nationalities.

There goes the notion that they don't have to get punched in the face for a living.

Getting kicked in the face for less money is a better choice for them.

You think whites, let alone Italians, are going to boxing gyms at the same rate as say the 1920s, but its just the excellence of black and Mexican boxers that causes them to fail, quit, and run to MMA, correct?

Blacks and Mexicans aren't even going to the gyms at rates they did in the past.

It's just not whites fella'...don't get all defensive.

Well to do White guys die every day doing things FAR more dangerous than boxing.

Base-jumping for example...and climbing buildings and taking selfies off the side of cliffs and ****.

The rise of the Black fighter has a direct correlation with the decline of the white fighter.

There is enough poverty in White america to staff every weight division in boxing...so there goes your poverty theory.

A black writer wrote this piece 2 years back. I thought it was a very interesting read. Maybe you'll enjoy it too.

Joe Louis's last fight, at age 37, pitted him against the last undisputed white American heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano, the winner by knockout. America's financial recovery and the GI Bill after World War II produced economic pathways for poor white men that slowly and steadily depleted boxing of Caucasian talent.


Two decades later, the civil rights movement and integration would give poor black men access to those same pathways and eventually drain boxing's black pipeline.

They are too busy kicking ass or getting their heads kicked in while being filmed during reality television episodes...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBvnBB91g20 Fake full blooded Italian American Ronnie Ortiz blasted Stephen Izzo with a sucker punch right hand. This about sums why there are no Italian American boxers anymore. Guys from lower middle class backgrounds don't box. They would rather doing this nonsense.
