White boxer tend not to be any good. The last good white boxer was Joe Mesi, and he had his brains beaten in by a cruiserweight, and Mesi is a heavyweight. You have to go down to the 140 pound fighters and below to find some real white talent.

Stay away from your friend, he's not too bright, hide all sharp objects and things that he can hurt himself with when he comes around.
The reason why there's not that many "White" fighters anymore is the same reason why there's not a influx of Jewish and Irish fighters. Boxing is a tough, tough sport and different ethnic groups seem to be a little bit more willing to work a lot harder than most. It's a fact of economics too, minority's as a whole make far less than your average Caucasian. Some of the biggest names in boxing now are coming from Mexico, Africa, South America and Eastern European countries considered poor countries.
It has absolutely nothing to do with bruising or bleeding. White guys are just as tough as Black, Brown and Yellown guys.

no this that your friend told u is not true.. bruises just show up better on lighter skin.. and they dont bleed more.. and actually there are many still talented white boxers.. all the current heavyweight champions are white.and russia is a very white race dominated country and it is starting to become more serious and upcoming in boxing. race is to often affliated with boxin when really it has very little to do with it.

You obviously going on an outdated sterotype.
The best fighters in the heavyweight divison are all white. Ever heard of Wlad?
The best fighter at supper middle is white Calzaghe
The best fighter at 140 is white. Hatton
The best fighters at light heavy are all white Adamek and Birggs
Your friend doesn't know a thing about boxing. It has changed alot in the last 10 years.

Things have changed since the 90s... actually, most of the heavyweight champs are "white" now.
