**Hey guys, this is "BoxingFanUK", it seems we have a new website and my old login "BoxingFanUK" was not working, so I have chosen this username as my new handle on this site. So from now on I will post as "Ahmet 2k"**
Now, I figured in light of the purpose of this site, we would do well to maintain, update and keep a list of all the white champions in the sport of boxing.
So, as of July 25, 2011
Current white boxing champions.
Wladimir Klitschko, RING Magazine, WBA "Super", WBO "Super", IBF Heavyweight
Vitali Klitschko, WBC Heavyweight
Marco Huck, WBO Cruiserweight
Kris Wlodarczyk, WBC Cruiserweight
Nathan Cleverly, WBO Light Heavyweight
Lucian Bute, IBF Super Middleweight
Carl Froch, WBC Super Middleweight
Dimitri Sartison, WBA Super Middleweight
Robert Stieglitz, WBO Super Middleweight
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, WBC Middleweight
Daniel Geale, IBF Middleweight
Gennady Golovkin, WBA Middleweight
Sergio Martinez, RING Magazine Middleweight
Dmitry Pirog, WBO Middleweight
Felix Sturm, WBA "Super" Middleweight
Saul Alvarez, WBC Light Middleweight
Serhiy Dzinziruk, WBO Light Middleweight
Vyacheslav Senchenko, WBA Welterweight
Jan Zaveck, IBF Welterweight
Robert Guerrero, WBA Interim, WBO Interim Lightweight
Ricky Burns, WBO Super Featherweight
Johnathan Barros, WBA Featherweight
Omar Narvaez, WBO Super Flyweight
Total # white boxing titles. 27
% of white boxing titles as per total boxing champions. 30.0% (27 out of a total 90 titles)
Interestingly enough, in case any of you were wondering there are 21 black boxing titles. So, the number of white champions, as of July 12, 2011, is larger than the number of black champions by 4 (25-21).
This is great news for white and European boxing fans!
I know that many people on this site post on mainstream boxing forums, and this thread will be useful in terms of a reference when arguing with mainstream fans. Also, this thread stands as a reminder to the accomplishments of white boxers! White boxers today are more successful than ever in integrated history and that should be applauded!
From looking at these numbers, it is simply factual to say that white boxers are more dominant in the sport of boxing than any other race. These numbers further the notion that boxing is becoming a Euro-Centric sport (this shift began occurring in the late 1990s, early 2000s), and I think that is great news! This is especially true of weight divisions above 140 pounds (Light Weltereight) where white boxers essentially dominate.
On the flip side, it is also apparent when looking at these numbers that room for growth of white boxers exists in terms of competing in lower weight divisions. This is where white boxers and Euro boxers need to continue making gains.
Essentially, the only thing stopping total boxing domination by European is weightclasses below 140 pounds!
Cheers and I will keep this list updated
