Someone made a post listing all the belt holders in the 170 and above divisions showing that most were white.
I’ve noticed that a common answer to this is that it’s because they (minorities, specifically blacks) are all pursuing the NBA and NFL.
I was reading a social media post where someone expressed thankfulness for Deontay Wilder representing the US when we haven’t had many representatives in the last decade. Someone responded:
“Shoulda played basketball like errybody else. I'm always surprised when a big USA man goes into boxing. Too many alternatives. I doubt if we will ever have a US heavyweight champion again. The smaller guys rule.”
Thoughts?
