Who is the greatest White American champion currently & all time?

[Motofan]

All-time it’s got to be Harry Greb based on resume. He has the greatest resume in the history of the sport and is no worse than a top 3 all-time.

Benny Leonard and Willie Pep are also two names on every historians top 10 lists. Mickey Walker can’t be too far off, surely no worse than top 12.

Now? Plant is probably it. White Americans just don’t get into the sport anymore. Back in the days there were so many Italians, ***ish and Irish getting into the sport and dominating.

Historically there's tons and many are among the absolute greatest of all-time.

Surefire top 10's

Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, Willie Pep

(Almost) certain top 20's

Barney Ross, Mickey Walker, Gene Tunney, Tony Canzoneri

Certain top 20-40 guys

Packey MacFarland, Billy Conn, Tommy Gibbons, Terry McGovern, Tommy Loughran

Certain top 40-60 guys

Jack Britton, Mike Gibbons, Stanley Ketchel, Tommy Ryan

Other notable greats

Jake LaMotta, Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Abe Attell, Lou Ambers, Fritzie Zivic, Maxie Rosenbloom, Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Joey Maxim, Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Joey Giardello, Teddy Yarosz, Pete Herman, Tony Zale

and many more.

My guess is the op wasn't expecting an educated answer.

Cletus Seldin, though he might be Canadian

[Real King Kong]

Non Hispanic or Non Italian! Just White, British, Irish, or any other Western European American!

Just out of curiosity, what discounts Italians?
