    Not ot many actual greats being mentioned, so I'll throw in Zelko Mavrovich. I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong; anyway, Lennox Lewis said he was pretty tough to fight.

    If only the United States would have been taken over by Communists and all of us forced to live in poverty generation after generation, there would be a lot more great white fighters.

    Good catch! Zeljko fought LL tougher than almost anyone else. He was way undersized though.

    I think Mavrovic started suffering from some muscular disorder soon after the Lewis fight and never boxed again.

    Notice anything about all the fighters OP mentioned, aside from lack of melanin?

    Let's narrow this list down a bit more. The great white americans.
    Who are the great white americans of the past 30 years.

    How would the list "great blacks in the last 5 years" look?

    One guy said "if... you know your guys are not doing well". If we talk about how people are DOING (not were doing) then let's look at current events. Last five years.

    Let's have a list of great black HW's over th last 5 years:

    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    If we go back in time the Romans rules the world or the Vikings ruled the world or whoeve ruled at differen times etc. Now.. how is it now?

    this would be the shortest list you've ever seen........i said that, becuzz we in the same boat, when you see Sam Peter, or Eddie Chambers on your list, you know yo people aint doing well

    but hopefully The HayematriX will change all that :happy The Great Black Hope :happy

    though he's half white, but ****.....i'll take it
