Joe Hypp was one ! Who else? Do we have any world champion that was native-american ? Definitely many had native ancestors, but I say one that actually had as much to be considered actual native.
Yeah, I imagine many white or black-americans had some percentage of native, some great-grandmother or something.
Marvin Camel. From Montana, cruiserweight champion (the first?). He is half African American and half Blackfoot native American.
Hipp vs. Morrison is one of the finest examples. Danny Lopez was the goat, I believe. Marvin Camel was the google result via inaugural WBC CW Title, I had never seen him, but he did fight Hipp.
Ernie "Indian Red" Lopez, Danny "Little Red" Lopez´s older brother who fought the great José "Mantequilla" Napoles twice for the World crown. Good fighter.
She was full Ponca/Otoe, Siouan tribes from Missouri area. The irony of him being a Great White Hope was epic.
George Tahdooahnippah, "Comanche Boy", had a good run going on the club/reservation circuit before being stopped in one a few years back and seemingly retiring.
Mestizo Americans all have native American or native Mexican heritage....the black hair, skin, eyes, stature are dead giveaways....
There are a lot of NA guys fighting on that reservation casino circuit. In amateur boxing as well. Of the NA amateur boxers, they turn pro at a lower percentage than that of other boxers. In my experience.
