    Some people need to give a better sample size than 2 to come up with a generalization.

    I'm not all PC to get offended, and I suspect you're half-way messing around, but jeez, at least have a better sample size to make your argument less pathetic.

    I mean, if you're going to mess around and try to get a rise out of people with a generalization, do it better.

    Like this.

    "Why are so many Filipino fighters southpaws?"

    Flash Elorde= southpaw
    Manny Pacquiao= southpaw
    Bobby Pacquiao= southpaw
    Ben Villaflor= southpaw
    Z Gorres= southpaw
    Gerry Penalosa= southpaw

    Or like this.

    "Why are African-American fighters so fast"

    Look at Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah, Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard, Meldrick Taylor, and Shane Mosley.



    That way, you can at least have a decent argument when you troll. The only thing worse than a troll is a stupid one.

    Trolls who can somewhat back up their arguments can be fun to read. Your **** is just weak.

    Please step up your troll game for our entertainment.

    There are certainly physiological differences between groups of humans most likely resulting from the varying environments encountered in those initial or early migrations and over time. You need to look at genetics (gene mapping) and things like mitochondrial DNA haplogroups to learn which groups of people are comparatively more closely related due to where their closest ancestors ended up relative to those initial groups of humans that apparently moved out of Africa in multiple migrations over the last million years or few hundred thousand years (affected by the ever changing weather conditions of this immense period of time during which separate or even isolated development occurred).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_DNA

    This isn't my area of knowledge so that is why these are just layperson sites to sort of give you a taste of what it is about. Out of this you can see where the next article
    "The Race To Swift - Do You Have The Right Ancestry?" makes some seemingly plausible observations about just the kinds of things being discussed here (but not as stupidly as many of the posts on this thread - lol).
    Check it out at the following site:

    The Race To Swift - Do You Have The RIGHT Ancestry?
    By Jon Entine

    It has been posted on many sites in the past.

    There certainly appears to be definite physiological differences or tendencies between humans that just can't be ignored. You see it regularly in why some groups are generally faster runners, better weight lifters, basketball players, etc. In the end (far in the future), all humans will all most definitely share the wide range of possible attributes to a much greater extent or degree than we do currently (and certainly more than in the past). For the time being, (current and historical) performance demonstrates that athletic greatness isn't so random and equally available to just any group or every group just because we wish to believe it so. If that were true, more of the poll results on ESB wouldn't be so asininely absurd. But they often are .... :D

    So because 2 Asian fighters have great handspeed ALL Asian fighters have great handspeed???
    There also plenty Asian guys who don't. Just like there are plenty American, Mexican, Latin fighters with and without great handspeed.
