Racial Genetics in boxing

[Horus]

Let me guess, you're black? Looks like someone feels a little inferior in their day to day lives and thus drives them to focus on topics and mindset like quoted above. Funny how you jump to a conclusion that the African genes are the dominant genes because you would like to believe so.

I've known many many mixed people, much more than the few half white blacks that you know, in my life. And the greatest factor that determines their physical appearance is what race is the father. I wouldn't know a real figure but its definitely closer to 80-90% then 50% who look more like the father than the mother. Rarely does the offspring of a mixed race couple resemble the mother more than the father.

Like I said, you just jumped to a conclusion that blacks have a more dominant gene, because you'd like it to be that way. In other words, YOU'RE BIASED. I wasn't trying to get into this thread because I knew how it would turn out, but I just couldn't stand your obnoxious ignorant posts. On top of that you try to act like a scientist by mentioning things like the human genome. What a ***ing joke.



Now ask yourself why is this so? First of all your unsupported biased claim is wrong. Offsprings of Caucasian men and black women rarely look more black than white.

You're one sad piece of black panther minded ******.

Look I am no geneticist


But the point I wanted to make was Blacks have more genetic prominence over non-blacks.

Meaning that the physical features that are prominent among Black people show up more in mixed raced children that includes blacks and non-blacks

This was the point I wanted to get across.

Because as I said before only 6 genes out of 40,000 genes that makes us human determine race.

Is there any benifit or hinderince from being Black, White, Samoan, Mexican, Asian ect?

ie - White guys cut bad, Samoans have bigger bone structures and take a punch better?

Just curious what the general feel is here

NO RACISIM

Race genetics is a pseudo science. So to answer your question. No.

it's obvious blacks are naturally more athletic than any other race...its only racial pride motivating some of the arguments against the fact. their genetic traits are fast twitch fibers, lean muscle mass, co-ordination and agility...geez you only have to look at the nfl,nba,olympics,boxing etc.
these physical traits have allowed black fighters to produce some of the most exciting knock outs and displays of sheer speed and atheticsm in the sport.
race does have alot to do with boxing as far as styles go. i believe it is a lack of muscularity amongst the mexicans and to a lesser extent white people that have characterized their styles as brawling back and forth (phone booth), ko's as a result of an accumulation of punches rather than a single explosive punch.
samoans are different yet again, powerful, heavy boned, explosive but have a bulky body type.
of course this is a broad generalization and their are many exceptions...so come and git me you f@ckers!!!

No race is more athletic than any other.

Black people do on average have PROPORTIONATELY LONGER ARMS AND LEGS and that gives them advantage in certain sports that involve running and reach (basketball). You're wrong about the Olympics, by far the greatest number of medals were won by white and Asian athletes - do some research.

Whites, Hispanics and Asians are doing well in boxing right now, although having proportionately longer reach has always given blacks an advantage in this sport. Floyd Mayweather's arms were 6" longer than Ricky Hatton's, 26" to 20". Tommy Hearns had a 12" reach advantage over Roberto Duran.

im half black and half white... i have carmel skin, but i look most like my white grandfather. i have eyes and eyebrows from my grandfather, body hair like my ***ish grandfather, smarts from my grandmother, speed, nose and long limbs from my dad.. i am not extremely strong but very fast. its literally like a half and half mix i dont think the black genes prevailed

There are more black NBA players for the same reason there are more black rappers. Think about it. What would lead you to play in the NBA or become a rapper (in most cases)?

when was the last time the 'fastest man in the world' wasnt black??? when i referred to the olympics i wasnt talking about the table tennis, platform diving or curling...and reasoning that blacks are only good at basket ball because theyve got longer arms and legs shows an absolute vacum in your knowledge of sport physiology...what a simple world you must live in.

floyd didnt beat hatton at the end of his jab, it was speed, SPEEEEED.

Im not sure who this part is directed to (I never said a think about long legs or arms), but again, think about why someone from, say, Kenya, would be a great runner. What is going on in the life of that person in Kenya that is different then Joe from Boston? Are you getting it at all? Here is another example. What makes people from some countries better at Soccer? Do you think Brazillians are genetically superior in Soccer comparred to say, Indians living in America? Or could something else be going on? (hint, hint.) It is really very simple.

I am Ukrainian and I am proud to say that Eastern Europe produces the strongest, baddest humans on the planet.

Fedor Emelianenko is the best fighter in MMA.

The Klitschko Brothers are the best fighters in boxing.

the klitschkos are the best in the HEAVYWEIGHT division, don't get it twisted boy.
