The real reason why whites underachieve in boxing

[AllAlong87]

To me, the answer is simple and is based in science. Whites, on average, have a lower percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber compared to blacks, for example.

Basically, fast-twitch muscle fiber is good for short, explosive movements required in sports such as boxing and basketball. Slow-twitch muscle fiber is better for sports that require endurance, such as swimming or weightlifting. Blacks have a high percentage of fast-twitch muscles, which makes any given black much more likely to succeed in boxing. It has very little to do with "culture".

I can't share a URL, but here is a quote from study done in 2015:

"So since blacks have higher rates of type II fibers while whites have higher rates of type I fibers (41 percent type I for white Americans, 33 percent type I for black Americans) while West Africans have 75 percent fast twitch and East Africans have 25 percent fast twitch. Further, East and West Africans differ in typing composition, 75 percent fast for WAs and 25 percent fast for EAs, which has to do with what type of environment they evolved in."

Nope.

All demographics like everything else kiddo. Blacks and Hispanics are more desperate than any other ethnic group from a financial standpoint, therefore they are more willing to risk head injury for pay.

Smart people with a future and education look at 50 year Parkinson Muhammah Ali and say **** THAT lol


American football is about to become similar. Poor people will be the only ones going out for it due to the risk.

Reported for being racist about muscle fibers.

If black people get 200 bonus points on their SAT scores for college admissions, shouldnt white track runners start a few feet farther ahead?

How many successful white fighters succeed primarily BECAUSE of their speed or agility? Usually when white fighters succeed, it's DESPITE their speed, not because of it.

Its true man. But similar studies about race and IQ must be similarly uncomfortable for you.

The fact is that the vast majority of people are mediocre in both academic and sporting pursuit, and to hold up those that look like you as beacons of your shared superiority in a given field is one of the cheapest and saddest things you can do.
