Best white boxers?

It's no more racist than saying who is the best ginger-haired fighter. Objectively it is pretty silly to categories fighters on the basis of the colour of their skin, or any other random physical appearance, but that's just an offshoot of every society in the world acting in that way. Like it or not, most people do categorise others on objectively irrelevant factors e.g. where you happened to be born, what colour skin you have, what language you speak. With boxing, at least in the older era, it was actually relevant because the US would not allow black or mixed-race fighters to compete on a level playing field.

 

The original Latin tribe comes from Italy (Rome) and the Romans conquered England and were there for 500 years, they also conquered most of the civilized world from northern Africa to the Rhine river of Germany up into the Ukrain, the Greeks and Egyptians were also present in parts of Italy (Sicily) as were the Swabs( German/French) and the Longobards (Germans) the Africans Cartha and Hanibal were from Greek origin and despite his last name Barca he was blond hair and blue eyed African of Greek origin, Spain is white but there dark hair is from the Arab (Northern african) Moors. Europe is a melting pot but the first Latins were from Rome and the English language has a lot of Latin words and roots, ofcource the Spanish traveled to Mexico, Puerto Rico. South America and mixed with the Indians, gave them there religion and language but in Europe it started in Italy

 

Ken Lakusta is definately a worthy mention. He fought as a kickboxer as well. What's more, he retired with a higher ratio of losses than wins, but hey, the gou fought some of the best in the world right?

 

No offense Flabby, ( not trying to insult you here just curious ), but why do you have an avator of a male wrestler's ass in spandex?

 

I think the one underneath is a bit c0ckeyed personally.

 

It is a bit repulsive.

Off to the lounge with it.

 

If what you say is true then we would see lists like this:

"Best brown-haired boxers?"

"Best boxers with 2,000 or more freckles?"

"Best boxers who have undergone an appendectomy?"

And so forth.

But we don't.

Since we never see such threads, but see instead see threads asking about "best white boxers" your argument is lost.

Sorry.

 

Soon be gone hey, but then again, thooooose guys...

:hey

 

Given the homophobic views of many of the lounge participants, I'm sure that avator will be right at home.

 

Nasty nasty hahaha

:good

 

Surprised I haven't seen Jerry Quarry mentioned. IMO one of the best heavyweights of the last 40years. Wlad Klitschko, Maccarinelli, Joe Calzaghe, Kessler, Hatton, Povetkin, there are actually too many to list who are currently active. Best ginger boxer is Stevie Collins.

 

Ross was THE greatness of all time.

Joe Louis is black because in America any black ancestry makes you black. I think Joe was lighter because his mother or some close relative was Cherokee. You point about how silly racial categories are is appreciated. Thanks.
