interesting fact about the HW division , take a look.

Nothing has really changed when you think about it.

If you substract every fighters coming from russia , or to put it simply , every single eastern european fighters.

The heavyweight division would still to this day , be totally dominated by americans.

In other words , if all these guys were gone or not permitted to fight in pro boxing (just like in the good ol golden era or boxing).
the average american fan would still be looking for his white hope in the hw division.

All the american flags are representing an african american athlete with the exception of Ruiz & Arreola.

And that's just for the top 25
If you click on the next page and do the same (substract all white fighters from eastern europe). It's almost the same story.
All the american flags are representing an afro american athlete.
(with the exception of Mike Mollo , Brian Minto ,tye fields)

the same trend goes for basically the entire hw division.

 

You're not paying attention...You're too concentrated on defending americans.

I'm talking about today's division WITHOUT those eastern euros.
The fact is.
(just imagine for a moment) , IF today's HW division had not a single one of these guys , not only would america still be #1 in the HW divison

But Larry Holmes would actually hit the nail on the head with some of his comments about afro american fighters.

In other words , in 2007 , there still wouldn't be a single white american boxer dominating in the top 10 , or hell even top 30.

Look at the american athletes in the entire top 100.
Still to this day , in 2007, afro american HW boxers are n#1.

Only huge difference is that today's HW division finally has a bit more eastern european participants.

Think about it , back in the 60's muhammad Ali's final opponent (in rome's olympic games) was Pietrzykowski (polish boxer).
That's the best type of guy they could find back then...
He's the same guy who failed in the 1956 olympics (He had the 3rd place)

Just imagine for a moment if pro boxing never would've been banned by the communists in the first place.

 

I don't think that's my real point. That's your interpretation.

Boxing had some great white fighters at one point in time such as Dempsey & Marciano & but there were only very few afro american participants.

Now , history repeats itself , only with eastern euros.
But unlike afro americans , they used to be banned even during Ali's era , this had a huge repercution on the long run.

If you take a look at Tyson's record for a example , you'll noticed that even in the 80's , 90's. He was almost forced to fight american fighters only. He had to wait till 2000 to finally fight a polish boxer...and that was in 2000!..

Look at Holmes' record or foreman's record....or any ATG of boxing..
even the great Lennox Lewis (though He's not american) , only had to fight 1 of them back in the 90's (in 1998 , he won a UD vs Mavrovic)
and finally ,his last opponent (in 2003 ) was against Vitali (a fight he was losing on points btw).

Is it a coincidence that most of Lennox Lewis's losses as an amateur were for the most part against eastern euros?

If you substract all white eastern euros and only keep white americans , Holmes' prediction is absolutely justified (even though it's not PC).

 

Interesting. But if we're gonna talk about population and variables. Then 10% of the US population becomes a bit irrelevant since it still doesn't change my original point.

Which was quite simple...
in a nutshell...in 2007 (still to this day)
If you simply substract every single eastern europeans , there's not a single white american top boxer. (in the top 20 or 30)
So in a way , Larry Holmes was and is still right.

speaking of 10% , you're forgetting the fact that many of them are a majority in certain sport disciplines. (boxing happens to be one of them , same goes for basketball)

(on a side note: they may be a minority in the US , but the entire white race is also a minority around the world). Jews are also a miniorty (doesn't stop them from controling the majority)
