This is a legitimate thread. Nothing racist about it
I suppose wondering why White boxers seem to be better outside of America than in America is a legit topic, but given NSB's nature, it just can't handle it.

Ok, I'll take the issue seriously and answer with reference to Australia, a country with strict gun laws, great sporting pedigree and high % of whites.
We hardly produce any decent boxers and the reason is simple i.e. boxing is so far down the list of priorities for elite junior athletes that the participation numbers would not even register as a blip on the radar and it has nothing to do with how people defend themselves.
Furthermore, the major sporting codes are extremely aggressive when it comes to identifying these kids and take them out of the system before boxing even becomes an option
Take my son as an example.
He is a state basketballer and rugby player
He has been offered full scholarships to private schools for basketball and rugby plus we have also been approached by one of the major Australian Rules clubs for entry into their academy despite the fact that he has never played the game.
He is 11!
Given that, the chances of kids like him taking up boxing at a reasonable age are somewhere between nil and zero.
If Australia happens to produce a top white boxer, it is an anomaly and nothing to do with gun control
Generally, they are someone that has fallen in with a mentor (e.g. Fenech/Lewis) who gives them some direction via boxing rather than via design
