Hi i have heen brought up on a diet by my grandmother who is half red indian in scotland, [ dont ask]. About the warrior spirit of these natives of the usa, but as a boxing fanatic, the only indian fighters that i have heard of are like me, white guys with a drop of wagon burner in them, like dempsey and tommy morrison. Please inform me am i wrong? is there indian fighters who have reached the elite level in the sport. All i can think of is some guy that, tommy morrison fought called joe something.
There was a thread like this recently, I think only a couple of names came up. There was that fat guy at HW, a prospect and some other guy - I hope that was of some help.
The thing i cant understand is why there isnt more, they are the poorest people on average in the states. They look tough, and they proberly have alot of anger inside them other the historical injustices ofthere people. My understanding is there isnt many of them left because of miscegenation with white people. But still there should at least be one or two real legands. In a race that had such brave warriors in antibellum usa.
That was it joe hipp, he was perhaps one of the toughest men ever, he was a slow plodder but could hit, and had a granite chin. He gave tommy morrison a hell of a time when the duke was a serious contender. I recall a indian being one of max baers first opponents, im sure the loquicious baer knocked him out. Help me is there any others, by the way i dont think vigil hill is indian, he has strong negro features on his boat race, for a full breed anyhow.
Morrison versus Hipp was a right ol war!!!? pure slugfest an even more exciting as Morrison's dodgy chin an hipp's resilience made for a good fight... :bbb
Virgil Hill is 1/2 Cherokee, so I'd say he counts. Not sure where you get "negro features" from though. His heritage is Norweigan / French Canadian / Cherokee. Shawn Hawk is a full-blooded Native American fighter with a glossy record. Johnathan Corn was a gatekeeper for a long time.
That was my first thought as I scanned down the page....Then he goes on to say negro...I feel some some bad posts coming his way
