    Point taken and agreed on, what i was getting at is what the poster below me wrote much more eloquently. Obviously if you take a kid in dire poverty in rural Cambodia and give him a UK diet he'll be bigger than he would have been. But that same Cambodian kid is still going to end up being smaller than most Irish guys.

    Can't believe no one has mentioned Mayweather. Best fighter WW and below of last 30 years EASILY.

    There's both a nature and a nurture component. Caucasians now are way bigger than they were 100 years ago, and it's not because genetic pools changed that much. But yeah, certain people are genetically just taller. You'll see a lot more tall Dinka (the Sudanese ethnicity that has produced a lot of basketball players like Manute Bol and Yinka Dare) and Danish and Germans than you will tall Aztecs or Khmer or Pinoys.

    Probably because he isn't Caucasian. Maybe a little yellow bellied, but that's it.

    You're right. I think he gets disqaulified from this because he has a drop of two of eskimo blood though, not technically causcasian.

    I have tons of admiration and respect for Buchanan,but it's beyond obvious that you've never seen the Duran fight.If you had,you would have known that Duran dominated that encounter and was beating Kenny from pillar to post throughout the majority of the fight.It's on youtube for you to see that fight OBVIOUSLY for the first time.

    First off,another fellow that needs to watch that fight again FOR THE FIRST TIME.Kenny had his moments,but Duran DOMINATED.Secondly,Kenny was the prime one for that one at 26 years of age,and Duran was quite green for that one at 21 years old.

    This thread is so full of fail.

    I really dont know where to begin.

    1. You people dont know what caucasion is.
    2. You people dont know when the last 30 years was.
    3. You people dont know what below WW is.
    4. and you people sure as hell dont know what great means.

    Brian Mitchell deserves a mention. Very underrated fighter and often times (for example this thread) overlooked.
