You must mean a white american cause there are 3 belts held by whites. There probably will be one perhaps two. There ain't nothing out there my brother. Look you and I can do some serious training and whip half of these guys ranked in the top 10. You know its bad when the Russians are the heavy weight champs. Byrd had a championship belt. The guy punches with a open hand. what a joke..........

Like others have said 3 of the 4 champs are white from Russian countries and IMO the best one (Liahkovich)just lost because he didn't listen to his corner to stay away the final round. Fact is when your in the ring it doesn't matter what color you are and if you ask any of the top guys they'll tell you the same, beleive me it hurts just the same getting punched by a black guy as it does by a white guy or an asian or latin or whatever. The one thing as boxing fans that we have seen now is that since Russian fighters have been allowed to fight professionally they are making some noise in pretty much all the weight classes. If they ever allow the Cubans to enter the pro ranks they'll make an even bigger impact.

As Far as US White American goes, we'll be waiting a very long time. However, I sure that Russian Fighter Nickolay Valuev wil win the belt in September of October. He's 7'0, and punches like a beast. 46-0-0 says it all too. However, i know the janurary 3rnd tko of jamaal mcline isn't legit because of his knee injury, Valuev is the real deal

I really don't think so, because if you look at past history of the sport it seems to have alot to do with immigration of the different countries into the US,and their,may I say,their economic rise. There were the Irish, German,Italian,Black and it now seems Hispanic. I may have not put them in the proper order, but I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Have you been in a time machine? The three major belts are held by white-skinned Eastern Europeans, not that that matters.
The WBO belt is not a legit title.

Screw ethnicity...I just want to see a new dominant heavyweight. Saw a guy a few months ago named Larry Johnson that looked like he had some Larry Holmes' set of skills.

Were you in a coma? Were you in prison? Where have you been this year? All the 3 heavyweight champs right now are white and all from the former USSR.

Do you mean a White American? Because it seems to me that 3 out of 4 belts are held by white guys.

Like my man already said we are currently dominating the heavyweight division... plus I heard that Vitali Klitchko is coming back and wants all 4 titles to belong to Russia and Uiraine. Hats off to my Eastern European brothers
