[The Old LefHook]

Let's see your white list.

[Eff Pandas]

These are always weirdo threads first off & idk the point of them that isn't some weirdo agenda sh^t, but just curious what makes one "African American" for this list?

Cuz to me & I imagine many others Andre Ward is biracial more than he's African American. And I'm sure there are others on this list that could qualify as such.

I mean this is 2018 not the past where racist mfers like to act like one drop of African blood makes ones African & this angle usually makes being African a negative thing more than a positive thing from their point of view.

But mainly I think a stance that a African American & another genre of human makes an African American kid is a outdated concept. They make a person of two backgrounds neither of which should be discounted or overhyped for that matter.

[OctoberRed]

Is that really a complete list?

[Mexican_Puppet]

Respect to african-american Boxing.

México has 161champions of the world.

We rule the boxing world

What is your sourc?

[_Rexy_]

Who the **** cares? You gotta be either a POS or a SJW to go through the history of champions and divide them into race.

And Andre Ward? You using the “one drop rule” brah? This isn’t 1991 South Africa

[Anthony342]

Does that mean if white former IBF Heavyweight Title holder Francois Botha who comes from South Africa ever became an American citizen, he would also be included on this list?

[NChristo]

Yeah I couldn't give a ****.


Although, let's play "one of these is not like the other"

11/18/1970 - Joe Louis won the WBA Heavyweight title

12/03/1970 - Billy Backus won the WBA & WBC Welterweight title

01/22/1973 - George Foreman won the WBA Heavyweight title



Any takers ?.

Little hint: Billy Backus is not African American my dude

[The Old LefHook]

I am awfully proud of every white champion, by God. Why, their skin just glows out there, doesn't it, lads? I am proud of all the races, but especially the whites, for they are certainly the most maligned these days and endure a lot of abuse and scorn from those who enjoy minority entitlement. Even their own kind abuse them, by Godimer. A race that talented should not be scorned. Oh, yes it's a good 'un.

Man.

There are schools in boxing

There are advantages un each race

Mexicans are durable and they have a lot of stamina

African-americans ... well, they have a lot of speed and athletism.

They have a strong mentality and personality in boxing

This is the reason why they are the most succesful boxing schools in the world.
