Why can't/don't white Americans box?

Literally every other racial group, no matter how small is represented apart from the largest. Seems odd.

Because our best/strongest guys make up our top tier special forces units, not playing sports for the entertainment of others.

Because boxing is about speed, not intellect or power. If you are faster you can outscore anybody due to boxing's pussy ruleset

Because the Irish/Italian/Polish immigrant groups got more affluent with each generation and moved to the suburbs where there are no boxing gyms

No they're playing in the NFL

White Americans are fags, a dying race more interested in beating off to cartoon ponies than manly pursuits.

>>64207161
But it's not just blacks who box, it's Mexicans, Japs, Slavs, Europeans whites, I can even name a more prominent paki and arab than a white American

Everyone would be in the super heavyweight division

There are more poor white people in the US than any other group

Funnily enough, that's actually the correct answer

Because boxing is retarded
>>
>>64207308
Because boxing is incredibly low on the totem pole for white americans. Football, baseball, hockey, mma, etc are all better

Financial status is actually a big consideration when fighters are born. Poor people are more likely to get into fights, have a rough environment to shape them. Italians who came to the US were often on the bottom of society, and they had a lot of good fighters. Now, there's not that many italian american fighters while black people still dominate.

I mean, he did good for a while and he is definitely held in high regard in boxing circles, but its not something normies know about. Fighting just isn't that big here, only Gustafsson has had any recent fame and success, and he is coming off two losses in the UFC.
