Why don't black Americans dominate the top ten heavyweight rankings anymore??

Football and Basketball are more popular. Also, a lot of black kids dont fight or make it their priority to fight anymore. People are used to clapping those guns and using those to get their point across.

 

they were never that good with a few exceptions.comunist countries didn't alowed their boxers to go pro,that's why you are talking now about ali,frazier or foreman.i sugest you learn youre kidds cyrillic alphabet,there's more Віта́лій Кличко́ on the way...

 

Half part of the Truth I agree but it is the part which suits your racial biased agenda:yep

What about the part of Collapse of Iron Curtain? Collapse of Soviet Union, freedom for these ex Eastern Block countries. Freedom to TURN PRO which was BANNED back in the day. I dbout your people even know about these things. you live you see you hear but you really dont see or hear.:yep

 

If you look at the ex Soviets that were around back in the day, well they weren't up to much

 

They're in other sports.
They're not black enough.
Boxing clubs are shutting down.
Boxings not popular enough.
Boxing doesn't pay enough.
It's at a low point in the cycle.
The prospects are in prison.

Pick your excuse.

 

I notice you are from finland, has professional boxing ever been banned there? I know it has in other nordic countries

 

Lets take an example: Seth Mitchell.

This guy is undefeated and a borderline top 15-20 Heavyweight.

How did he get in to boxing?

He was a collegiate linebacker for Michigan State. He was pretty good, perhaps top 20 linebacker in the country.

He suffered a career-ending knee injury. Cannot play football anymore. Knees shot.

He takes up boxing, with shot knees and in his 20's. He is now a borderline top 15-20 heavyweight.

To recap:

collegiate linebacker, career-ending knee injury, picks up boxing, and is now a successful professional boxer with a step-up fight soon against Timor Ibragimov.

um, you do the math.

The top black athletes are making millions playing football and basketball which are by far the most popular sports in America.

Tuanator was as close as it's going to get to an Asian HW contender.

 

why do the cleveland browns suck every year in football?
why do the LA Clippers suck every year in basketball ?
Why is soccer still the last 2 minutes of any ESPN newscast?

who knows? theres no simple answer . its just the way it is ..things change

 

Do you genuinely think everyone are masters Right away?

Pro boxing is still relatively young sport at Easter European and it is only getting bigger. I am sure this is just a beginning.

Since Lennox Lewis came it has been all European. Even thou Lennox is Jamaican :rasta

 

There is an element of truth to the "in other sports", when heavyweight boxers were usually around 5'11-6'2 and around 200lbs, those sort of people were less likely to take up boxing.
But now that the top boxers are often 6'5-6'7, people in that category are much more likely to play basketball or american football when they are young.

most of the best basketball playing countries arent good at heavyweight boxing (spain, argentina, greece, lithuania, turkey italy, serbia, australia and china)

 

all american super heavy's are in other sports that are easier, pay more on average (aside from the HW champ) and are more lucrative to make a living doing with less risk. Imagine Dwight Howard boxing, holy ****....for some reason I bet Lebron has a glass chin though but Dwight would be an absolute beast. A young Shaq? ****!!

 

this is the biggest pile of bollix ive ever read in my life..your fighters dont have the dedication anymore and they arnt as big as the euro heavys its that simple..also they only reason use did own it for so long was down to dirty dealings and the fact that most of europe wasnt alowed to fight and went through 2 major wars...
