I mean with whites dominating both boxing and the UFC you'd think this racist myth would go away but it seems that many people (especially minorities) still think it is true.

To the one poster who claimed it was a question of numbers: what about guys like Mikkel Kessler, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and
Fabrice Tiozzo ---- none of them are from Eastern Europe....

Naturally, many of the answers are nothing more than anti-white racist BS....

Not really, not now anyway......Those eastern european guys are mean and tough. ts time we just accept it and give them the credit they deserve.
boxing like other sports is becoming more international. Thats why our national basketball team looks so bad, our boxers so bad, etc. Its not that traditional black athletes are going into football, basketball..etc...Its that traditional american sports are becoming more international.
Also, the best mma fighter ever is fedor emelianenko from Russia. Put this guy against anybody from anywhere in the states and then this myth will be put to rest in 15 seconds. This guy can beat tyson, ali, frazier, louis in a no holds barred fight. He's crazy.
go to youtube.com and search for one of his highlight videos.....

Now that professional boxing has become truly international since the eastern block countries are open for pro sports, it makes whites a bigger contender than when the US and Europe were pro. Its really a matter of numbers, there are more whites competing than before the cold war ended.

I don't really beleive it. I just think that White men tend to lean toward other sports. Remember Steve Collins of Ireland? He was a bad a$$ fighter. How about Ricky Hatton of England?

as a white man i say the current white fighters are mostly not worth a damn. poverty and a lot of child-hood fights and hatred make great fighters. . they also need neighborhood fight clubs where they can learn their skills as well as disapline. these clubs have gone to the wayside as white liberals hav e decided fighting is immoral. today, poor
large black athletes go into basketball and football (even soccer) and the rest are left to gangs and drugs. big improvement. the best fighters come from mexico and asia where people are smaller but the establishment allows them a shot at glory and wealth. i admit most of these items are soon lost. racism has little to do with it. at one time white poor irish and white poor jews made up most of the great fighters. the race of fighter is not important. the poor will come to the top provided society gives them the means to learn their craft

Dominating boxing? i dont know about that my friend. the fighters you mentioned are good, but look at what surrounds them. Majority of the contenders are minority, if given the chance i know they will put those guys lights out easily. UFC is a totally different world. most minorities are not into grabbing other doods asses and balls! i bet if you send majority of them doods to brazil its game over!

Unfortunately, that stereotype exists....I wish people would get away from the race issue and judge on merit alone...there are world champions from all over the world...I don't think one race has any distinct advantage over any other.

less blacks are competing in such sports, and are excelling in other nontraditional sports like golf and tennis. but historically everything whites have said blacks were inferior in we've excelled in and in UFC it's only a matter of time.
