Boxing is not only a sport of the disadvantaged that is a theory and there is some evidence to support that theory. But theres also some evidence that goes against that theory. One example in recent times is Marco Antonio Barrera for example or the Marquez brothers. These are people that are well educated and do not come from poor families and have succeeded at the top levels of the sport. Btw you can throw canelo in that mix as well.
So, by this point, it should be pretty clear that black fighters have some very clear genetic advantages for boxing and fighting in general.
Everytime we think some white fighter is a big deal, it always turns out that they have some black kryptonite... Wladimir got knocked out by Brewster and Joshua, Vitali got knocked out by Byrd and Lewis, Kovalev got knocked out by Ward, Troyanovski got knocked out by Indongo, etc... The list is really too long to list. Don't be surprised when a black guy beats Usyk or Lomachenko badly, cus as much as I like them, it will certainly happen.
Same goes for MMA at the moment. We all thought the scary big white guys at heavyweight were the top of the game, but then it turns out that the smaller black guys from light heavyweight could come up and kick their white asses any time, and now, the UFC heavyweight division will be almost entirely ruled by black fighters, despite black fighters being such a friggin small percentage of the roster.
How can blacks be such a minority, both in international boxing and MMA, yet always seems to have some clear advantage? Why, in a supposed 50-50 black-vs-white fight, do we always have this thought "probably more like 70-30 in black guys' favour"? I mean, even Joe Calzaghe got knocked down by grandpa Hopkins and grandpa Jones, two black oldtimers...
If you deny that this phenomena is true, then this thread is not for you. We really should be able to discuss this by now, even the casuals can see it. Hell, my own girlfriend actually thinks that black people are stronger, just from casually following when I watch big fights...
hhmmmm......no scientific links to support this essay. or do you hold a phd on the matter ?????
