    Where are the good White American Heavyweights?

    Was Tommy Morrison the last notable White American Heavyweight?

    It seems like all the top white HW's the last 20+ years have all been Euros.

    Where are the white american heavyweights at?

          That's a small subset of white athletes.

          I wonder if the explosion in popularity in MMA the last 20 years played a much bigger role?

            I thought Tommy Morrison was only half white, so not sure if he counts??

            I consider the last good American HW of white descent to be Jerry Quarry. Not that I care about race or anything.

                Tommy Morrison’s son, Trey Lippe Morrison, is 16-0 with 16 knockouts right now but he probably sucks.

                  Joey Dawejko is the highest ranked white US heavyweight boxer, he is rumoured to have knocked Anthony Joshua out in sparring before the Andy Ruiz fight.

                    A better question would be where are the southpaw heavyweight champs?

                    All time:
                    Moorer
                    Byrd
                    Sanders*
                    Chagaev
                    Ibragimov

                    Those are the only five, and Sanders only won the WBO before it was recognized as a major title.
