As some of you may not know, all four major heavyweight world titles are held by white men. Personally, I'm glad it happened for one reason. It shows that boxing, and fighting in general, for profit has nothing to do about race. Boxing and all sports like it have traditionally been "the poor man's sport". I've always believed that it had more to do with your surroundings and poverty in general than about race. This just proves my point. All races can fight just as well as the others, but an individual in a poverty-stricken state is, most of the time, more determined and possesses more "heart" than a fighter grown up in luxury. Therefore, my question is directed at black men. What do you think about this recent resurgence? And do you take any offense to it, or do you simply see that its a product of one's society that makes them a fighter? I believe its a testament to the black man's success in overcoming poverty, but that's just my opinion.
