I'm White and what Hopkins is saying is true, Blacks are built differently and they are very athletic, but he is overlooking Slavs. Up untill the iron curtain fell down Blacks were able to dominate against western Europeans and white Americans, but since then the Slavs (who are genetically different to western Europeans) have came in and dominated everything. Worlds strongest men - Slavs, Gymnastic - Slavs, MMA - Slavs, Boxing - Slavs, Granted not at the lower weights but thats because the lower weights have a larger volume of genetically smaller races and Slavs are predominantly in the heavier categories. Its nothing I made up or anything that was printed on a book two days ago. Its called genetics. :P

During a recent interview with Lem Satterfield of FanHouse/krikya360.com, the 45-year-old veteran made some interesting comments reagrding the issue of race, and how it relates to boxing and the big fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, which happens on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Hopkins made huge headlines in November when he spoke to Satterfield about Pacquiao possibly avoiding African American fighters.

Originally posted by check hook View PostTo some extent what he mentions is true. African Americans and other blacks that can trace their lineage to West Africa have naturally lower body fat percentages and subtle differences in skeletal structure. This is why Jamaicans (apart from sprinting being ingrained in the culture) and other black sprinters can run sub 10 and a white male is yet to do it.
On the other hand you won't see a black man do what Michael Phelps did at the Olympics either.
Depends on the sport......certain physical traits may make some black boxers faster (more quick twitch muscle fibre) but at the end of the day boxing is equal opportunity and it's skills and other aspects (styles) that win you fights. The ***s and Italians no longer send the hundreds of contenders to the ring they once did, so circumstance plays a part too.
