Who are better boxers? White men or black men or does it really matter?
Boxing
Throughout history using one's fists has been a means of protection or aggression, but it has also always been a sport. In the late 1800s boxing has been formally accepted as a sport and gloves were introduced. As the black man gained his freedom he was allowed to participate in these events and ever since he seems to have dominated it. Is it because black men are built stronger or faster or is it just the way things go? What are your thoughts and who for you was the best boxer of all time?

First of all, let me say that Ii don't believe boxing can be a sport. I think it is extremely dangerous and I personally don't like it at all.
I don't know much about boxing but I do think that blacks in general are built stronger and that's why we see them being so sucessful at almost any sports. I do think there were and there are many famous boxers who are black and we have many who are also white. I don't know if it is based on race but definetly I think the black man has an advantage over the white in that sport.

I am not an avid fan of boxing myself, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it is not a sport. There is a lot of technique and skill involved, along with strength, and eye-hand coordination is also key. Stories like the one I posted is what gives the sport a bad reputation of being brutal.

It really does not matter the color of skin it matters on skill, strength, speed, agility, stamina, endurance, and accuracy and I'm sure there is still more to it.
I believe the black boxers do have more strength but I think there are demerits to it as well, for instance strength slows down speed.

Years ago, People used to breed the biggest strongest slaves that created super slaves, they then went on to win every sport there is. Just wait till they come up with heated ice hockey rinks and the SuperSlaves will advance in that sport to. |
I love boxing, most of the top boxers have been black, but today most of the champions are white. Kalzage, Enzo, Hatton, Its 50/50 od say.
