    :huh

    i am guessing this should read a lot different

    witter is black and not getting big fights perhaps ?

    if this is what you meant to say the reason witter never got big fights was because warren was milking ricky hatton for every penny he could get and if he matched witter and built up witter`s name it could have meant warren losing his money spinner if he was forced to match them up.

    Really? That wouldnt have to do with the millions of Natives that were in America, or the millions of slaves brought to America would it? I seem to remember the Catholics and Protestants having a few words in Britain for hundreds of years no?

    Nonsense. Name one major English city that is more then 10% non-white. In America, all large US cities have a majority non-white population.
    As i said, because 90% of your country is white. :nut Just look at the trouble between Brits and British muslims.
    No. Thats just counting white british. White other makes up 5%. That brings the total to over 90% of your population is white.

    Correct figure for the USA is around 75% then, according to the 2006 census.

    Manchester - 81% white
    London - 70% white
    Leicester - 62% white
    Nottingham - 82% white
    Birmingham - 68% white
    Bristol 89% white

    More then I previously thought, but still no comparison to the demographic makeup of American cities.

    US census counts North africans, Middle easterners and some Latino's as white.

    Non-hispanic/non-middle eastern white = 66%.

    Yes, so if you're using the 90% figure for the UK, you need to include all those people in the US number as well, or you're not making a like for like comparison.

    The USA is still pretty much using the 19 century racial classification method. Meaning, black, white, chinese other lol.

    A british friend of mine says that your job applications are more detailed. Such as, Nigerian-British, Black-British, white-British, white -other, Indian-British, Syrian British ect.

    This is what an American job application looks like

    White
    Black
    Asian
    Pacific Islander
    Other

    Not very detailed, so your census is probably far more detailed then ours. As to why Latino's and Arabs get put in the white category. I doubt that happens in the British one.

    Arabs go under 'other' actually I think. Latinos = white other.

    I don't really like Paulie, but saying he gonna get his ass busted by Hatton might be a bit of a stretch... if he fights anywhere near the level he did against Cotto, don't expect him to lose. He may not have much KO power, but he definitely can take some punishment.

    So why didn't Witter go and get another promoter then? It's not that difficult!
