why is there more ethnic boxers

erm... cos there's more ''ethnic'' people than white in the world? atschatschatschatschatsch

 

What Thaiad said. + boxing has always been a sport of the underclasses.

 

subtle racism, I like it

I dont no, perhaps more 'ethnic' (as you so eloquently put it) kids are more susceptible to gang culture and, therefore, like to fight more then white people?

Or perhaps, it's just people 'white' people arent as big a number as 'the others' which is a stupidly large bracket

 

because everybody is "ethnic".
I am white, my ethnicity is white

 

because most people aren't white, globally white is an ethnic minority

 

it wasn't meant to be racist. Boxing has always been a sport of the poor guy. Unfortunately, in Europe and America there is still a big gap between the whites and other ethnic groups in terms of wealth.

And your statement of gang culture has nothing to do with race. It's also comes down to the level of wealth.

 

more non whites than whites, sometimes boxers are made by circumstances they grew up in, whites tend to have a more privileged background than non whites, you don't here alot of whites turning to boxing to be able to afford food, also many coloured people are more athletically gifted due to genetic reasons

 

its a socio economic reason

how come in america years ago there was huge numbers of irish americana and italian american fighters about? because they were the poor ethnic groups of the day. now that they have mostly become middle class there is little enthusiasm for a hard career as a fighter


I think thats why there is less top black fighters as there used to be, the general standard of living for african americans has gone up = less fighters

 

are we talking about them having big schlongs? and thats why Zab lost to khan cos clearly his dick was so enormous that it stretched all the way up to his stomach? :yep

 

I was only half serious pal. In all honesty I've never asked myself 'why are there more blacks in boxing' for example, as it really doesnt bother me at all.

 

Quit with this white people are more privileged bull****!

I work in a school with a 70% ethnic (non white) population where if anything the whites are given less opportunities being as the curriculum is ethnically centric yet whites get the better grades.

Stop using the ****ing race card, not all whites are born with silver spoons up their asses!!

 

because white boys dont have the fast twitch muscle fibers brothas have

thats why whitey cant hang with SBA's.

 

ummm, are the various different forms of "white people" not considered ana ethnicity..or indeed many?
