Who the hell cares about MMA? That is garbage

Fight fans do.

Read the OP.
We're talking "fighting" here... Fighting and Boxing.

I'm tired of people saying that white Americans can't fight! Yeah, Rocky Marciano was Italian, and yeah, Stipe Miocic is Croatian, but we got lots of other good fighters! What about Paulie Malignaggi, Chris Algiere and Butterbean?

And before boxing became an international sport, before black Americans started to properly participate, white Americans were actually the best boxers in the world!

Europe may have Klitschko, McGregor, Miocic, Marciano, Froch, Kessler, Calzaghe, Lomachenko, etc., but truly, the best white fighters are always from America!

(This was not meant as trolling, merely stating the obvious so someone hopefully can explain to me WHY white Americans are so bad at fighting. And don't give me that **** about "they don't box as much as black Americans", lol, Denmark is a tiny European country with barely 6 million people, and they have Kessler, who is better than any white American ever was).

Honestly, McGregor is a better boxer than any white American. He has already destroyed Malignaggi, if he also destroys Algieri, then McGregor has proven to be superior to any white American man.

Are you seriously claiming that Mikael Kessler is better than Willie Pepe, Benny Leonard, Tony Canzoneri, Jake Lamotta, Carmen Basillio, and the ton of great White American boxers there were in the early to mid 20th century?

Seriously?

Look at Gervonta, he comes from Baltimore. Boxing is better than anything that hellhole has to offer him. It's all about location and most black people in America live in areas worse than third world shanty towns. Compare how blacks are treated in America to the UK. Simply put, UK is a pure meritocracy, America is not despite it's bull**** claims of freedom.

i agreed on the part about how white parents are not grooming their kids to become the next world champ in boxing.

but i disagree with you on how it will be hard to market a white champion. if anything it will be super easy!! white americans is dying for a white champion to come along so they can support him.

look at conor, he's not even white american but has the support from all the whites in america. if conor was an american he would be view as god in their eyes.

The reason I say it will be hard is because I don't think the desire is there to have a white champion especially in a sport where violence is the means to being great. Again, can you imagine a trash talking white champion who acted like Ali or even worst, Mayweather. He'll be shunned by some white fans and probably hated by everyone else. McGregor got away with it to a certain extent because he wasn't American.

I'm talking about the fighters, not the business men. Why are white Americans so bad at fighting? White Europeans are good at business too, but they're good fighters at the same time. White Europeans can be both, but white Americans can't?

Wow. About as straightforward of an answer your going to get. Lol

By "white Americans" you mean WASPs only?... But many other "Americans" are white -- I mean of Spanish ("white") stock, with no Amerindian or African ancestors... Canelo, for instance -- he's more than white, he's ginger...

I don't know if the guy isn't simply trolling...

But as of your post above: boxing back then was largely segregated in the U.S., and you know that... (not to mention the influence of the mobsters in the sport)...

i believe the opposite. they will embrace it and praise that!! look at ronda and mcgregor. they only hate floyd because he's not white. like i said if conor was an american, he would be god to them.

there is no great white fighters right now, you cant expect white americans to fully stand by guys like chris algieri lol. look at manny, a lot of whites jump on the bandwagon just because he was suppose to be the one to beat floyd.

you dont really think they support manny because they really like him? they support him because he was suppose to shut the loud mouth black guy up.
