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

Who in the blue **** blue chip athlete would choose boxing over football, basketball, baseball, or even soccer in america these days? Maybe if I was a dumb ****, yea I would choose boxing. If you noticed, there are almost no americans of any race in heavyweight boxing. And I don't ****ing blame them. Look at who is making the real money in boxing...Mayweather, the two Klitshkos, Pacquiao, that's ****ing it....everyone else are fighting for the minimum you would make in the NFL, NBA, NHL, Nascar....You get the point. If I was an athlete, there is no way in god greens **** would I be a boxer. Boxing is corrupt and **** it.

 

This makes no sense

I would like to know why the Heavyweights are in such miserably shape ? There work rate is pathetic .

 

they are to busy playing football or basketball

 

The gyms closing down everywhere is kinda true.... The Blue Horizon in Philly is being turned into a restaurant....

Anyways, dont blame it on the NBA.... Most guys in the NBA would probably be CRUISERWEIGHTS, like Kendall Gill was... Other countries are stepping it up, and the US is falling off.... Our amateurs that go pro aren't really that good... They have solid/above avearge techn ique but they dont pan out.... Look at the Heavies that represented the US since 92...

Larry Donald (not a big puncher)
Cley Bey (ehhhh)
Calvin Brock (well rounded but didnt make it)
Jason Estrada (not a big banger, out of shape)

Also look at some of our top amateurs....

TJ Wilson (If he were dedicated, who knows)
Malik Scott ( same as TJ)
Davaryl Williamson (Had the most success than the rest of the names, even with his bad chin)
Dominick Guinn (Never recovered from losing to Barrett)
Mike Wilson (Nobody knows what he's doing or where he iis)
Jonte Willis (Cousin of 49ers LB Patrick Willis, he's stepping up again in a week or 2 but he's too small)
Nathaniel James (????)

I cant answer this question.... But with more quality gyms popping up, maybe more quality fighters will emerge..



We'll be waiting for Cam Thompson and Michael Hunter to turn pro....

 

When the USSR was disbanded, the poverty stricken athletes were hungry and hungry fighters dominate.

Food stamps, section 8, and babies mommas supporting lazy men KO1 the black athlete.

 

If not for East Europe Americans would still be #1 fact.............

 

A- Boxing gyms in America are dying

B- the best amateurs from America Guinn, Brock, Clay Bey, Williamson, Scott etc all busted

were left with second rate guys who were from other sports like Tommy Z, Mitchell and other former football guys who failed in that sport and think they can box

the other nations amateur systems and gyms are becoming superior

America needs more gyms and more Futch and D Amato and Dundee types

 

Seth Mitchell has followed the Mac Foster plan so far. He has fought people who have been losing their recent fights, are inactive, etc. Mitchell is in good shape and he is big and strong, but when he fights one of the young Europeans, or Eddie Chambers, etc., we'll find out if he is good. Kevin Johnson begged him for a fight and Mitchell's people wouldn't take the fight. I haven't seen Mitchell fight and he might be a super talent, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him be a bust the first time he faces adversity.

 

i wanted to make a thread about that how american ams all busted as pros

but also so have ams from other countries like Audley and Vidoz and others

 

because people like Jon Jones realized that the boxing gym was replaced by an MMA gym, and he went inside anyway.

Imagine a Chris Long in boxing

He's 6'4
280 pounds
runs a 4.75 in the 40 yard
34 inch vertical

Looks like he can take a punch

Now if he was a boxer, he'd be lighter than this and more mobile :deal
It's not a race thing, it's an American thing

 

There is some truth to African-Americans going into North American football instead of boxing, but NFL football didn't start last year. It's been around a while. As for basketball and baseball players, very few could ever make it in the prize ring. Likely the biggest drain of black talent these days is the penal system. Of the tens of thousands of blackmen in prison, there are probably a hundred or so who might have made it in boxing.

One area that rarely gets mention is the military. Where are the top amateurs coming out of the US military? There used to be some good prospects. Were they all lost in Iraq and Afghanistan?:bbb

Sure there are some good European heavyweights. There are also plenty of mediocre ones too. All it will take is some kid to be inspired to join a gym, a keen-eyed trainer to spot him, a smart manager to sign him up and an imaginative promoter to move him along through the ranks.

Maybe there's one toiling away in obscurity right now....:thumbsup
