    Steve Zouski is the best white fighter of all time. No need to even make a list.

    :lol: Steve was a nice guy. I worked with him once on a roof in Brockton when I was an amateur. Both of us trained with Goody and Pat.

    I know. I wasn't really thinking we should. I was just trying to find a dramatic protest. Snuff it came out.

    You can see where it went, though. Now people are arguing over whether de la Hoya is white.

    For their information, people who believe in race and blood and all that bull**** say that white Hispanic is white. Hispanic is ethnic not racial. Good example is Ricky Ricardo. So de la Hoya is white.

    even if he's mixed with spanish blood or any european blood, many whites from america label him as hispanic, and not WHITE.

    I should have said light-skinned.
    Anyway.
    It's strange - people either rate the good fighters of today up there, or pre-60.

    Are you an American? Because in America, de la Hoya is a white Hispanic, which means that while racially he's white, ethnically he's Hispanic.

    You are confusing race and ethnicity, Bad Intentions. White Hispanics are white, nonwhite Hispanics are black.

    Latino means Latin, the language of the ROmans i.e. Italians.

    Same with "hispanic" - from Spain.

    I don't know too many people who think Spanish & Italian people are not white.

    Anyway, this just goes to show how silly the whole racial categories are. Joe Louis had fairly light skin and yet he's called "black". That tells me either everyone in America suffers from colour-blindness, or that people are more obsessed with totally artificial categories than how someone actually looks.
