IM trying To Think Who Was The Last White American World Champ?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

White Americans have very little interest in boxing anymore. As a white American, believe me. None of them watch and any kid who says he wants to be a fighter is shunned into doing something else. There is simply no interest at all. I am very much a minority. White Americans mainly care about football, baseball, basketball and the UFC. And hockey has a big following. If you ask any of them to name a current champion, they'd say either Mayweather or Pacquiao if they even know those two. Boxing may not be dead, but it's on life support for white America. I'm one of the very few. Haha.

We've been over this ad nauseam. Boxing is a poor/stupid man's game, and the races/nationalities associated with success in it in the US over time are those who are/were the most poor and seen as the lower IQ groups (fairly or unfairly). Since it's a poor/stupid man's game, boxing gyms are placed in areas where the poor/stupid are, which are in the projects and urban areas associated with Blacks & Hispanics ... this is fine and makes sense, but it also eliminates nearly all those who don't live in the projects from boxing.

When was the last time you heard of a high school boxing team? There aren't any. If you're looking for a high school fighting sport, you'll pretty much just end up with wrestling. Wrestling is a lead-in to MMA since that is a sport that crosses disciplines. White participation in MMA thus is pretty decent.

It seems pretty apparent that American Blacks (whose ancestors as slaves were literally bred to be strong) are better athletes than average, as is seen in their participation rates in most sports. The lack of nearly any White participation in boxing is mainly due to the location of boxing gyms though, and the general lack of boxing enthusiasm among the general public doesn't lead many people to go out of their way to seek and attend a boxing gym (which ends up being in the hood).

I thought whitey ran this sport, tons of hyped up whiteboys running this sport, all products of the mass media machine or something? Only "white guy" that I can think of that was a promising guy from America was Pavlik. There are literally no white American stars or potential stars in this sport at all.

It's hard for white guys to even get anywhere in the sport in the first place. Nobody wants to work with a white guy because they don't see them as "naturally athletic".

Carl Frampton?

In 2017, only simpletons think of humans as black, white, red, yellow, brown, etc...Seriously, how stupid can you be?!

Canelo is whiter than most people your dumb ass would label as "white". Is obama black or white?
Pull your head out of your ass, dumb ****, and learn that white, black, brown, red, yellow, etc...are labels made up by people dumber than yourself. At least they had the excuse of living in a time more ignorant than your own.
Catch up.

World champion like Ring?

Ring magazine is now owned by Golden Boy Promotions. The Ring "championship" is not a world championship, nor is it a lineal championship. Golden Boy Promotions makes up whatever rules will benefit their fighters and HBO fighters and harm Haymon fighters and Showtime fighters.

Everybody needs to accept that the magazine title is absolutely meaningless now that the magazine is owned by a promoter.

Pavlik has Slovak heritage. Slovaks aren't Anglo Saxons.

Probably, his great-great-great-grandmother was, at this point he's assimilated Anglo alcoholic and looks like one.

Judging by that logic, Thurman has some Polish heritage too

Any solid light heavyweight from this part of the world would send Joe Smith Jr. to alcoholics anonymous club. Sheeps don't eat wolves

Kovalev, Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Bivol....even Salamov
