    As a black man growing up I didn't like boxing at first, I never liked cowards like Tyson, Loud mouth idiots like Ali. I became a fan of boxing when I seen Morrison fight Joe Hipp, the toughness both fighters showed. There are so many top white fighters who never get named by I will let you people name some first before i name who I think is the best white fighters of all time

    Rocky Marciano. One time an Italian asked me "Who's the best White Boxer"?
    and I answered Rocky Marciano. Then he replied back "What? We Italians ain't white, look at our dark olive skin"....

    Just kidding, but in all seriousness...Harry Greb.

    Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, and Willie Pep are the first three choices.
