    Sit your silly ass down.
    Is this the 1940s? Hell, you still think it's the 1840s with the White man having you in chains. Wake the **** up, idiot. It's 2017, your tribesman aren't selling you to the highest bidder any longer.

      Both are 100% black but I didn't include 122 or lower on purpose.

      If we want to include all 17 divisions then the number of blacks vs all other races/ethnicities drop dramatically at the lower weights. So if we want to include all weights then only 6/17 divisions are dominated by blacks.

      To put it another way 35% of all boxing divisions are dominated by blacks.

      That sounds worse than 5/12 which is 42%.

        Are people really trying to argue that Ward isn't black?



        But yeah, these race threads are ruining this board. They aren't needed at all.

          This is a legitimate question about what happened to the dominant black fighter. Go back 20 years and the number of divisions dominated by black fighters was about 11 or 12 out of 17. There's been a pretty big drop in top black fighters across all weights.

            Boxing is global sport and we're seeing more talent coming from Europe and Asia. That's good for boxing.

            That's one of the reason MMA is so popular world wide. Some of the best fighters are outside the US.

              Andre Ward is a black boxer. He's said so himself.

                Why are you so worried about black men? What an odd fascination with the BBC. Your inferiority is showing.

                  Most of them are gay and talk about the penises of other black men constantly, see above.

                  Gay guys can't fight and gayness has swept across the black community.

                    From 126 and up, Blacks account for 50% of recognized champions in boxing. That's not my opinion, that's a fact.

                    Blacks have more champions than white and Hispanic champions combined. There's another fact.

                    Statistically speaking, are black fighters dominating boxing based off those stats? Yes.
