Lol I kinda wish there were boxinh gyms in trailer parks, I wondet if that would balance things outVitali
Boxing is dominated by poor people who live close enough to a boxing gym or have some family history in boxing
/threadWillie Pep obviously.
I always wondered if people counted white Latinos when it comes to this and “best Native American boxer”Underrated Nicolino Lucche didnt need to punch anyone to have his legendary run. His first world title he won cause the other guy cried on his stool in shame he cant touch him.
Rocky Marciano.
Best white boxers
Vitali Klitchko
Rocky Marciano
Joe Calzaghe
All undefeated other than Vitali who only has 2 losses due to a shoulder injury and a cut.
Best black boxers
Joe Lewis
Roy Jones Jr
Sugar Ray Leonard
In terms of Defensive skill. I would say his offensive skills were higher than peps. I'm not talking power either, I'm talking about his ridiculously sneaky set ups./thread
Rocky Marciano too but he wasn't in the same universe as Pep in terms of skill
I think that is all down to perspective and America's history with the one-drop rule. Glass half full or glass half empty as far as I'm concerned.I always wondered if people counted white Latinos when it comes to this and “best Native American boxer”
A guy like Sergio Martinez is for example a white Latino boxer
Meanwhile a ton of Latino boxers are Native American even if they weren’t raised in the culture like Lupe Pintor
And then the Black category is loaded with anyone with a hint of black blood, doesn’t matter if you’re half white or super light skin.
He's from fucking argentina, he is probably just white and look like itI think that is all down to perspective and America's history with the one-drop rule. Glass half full or glass half empty as far as I'm concerned.
