    Default TOP TEN WHITE HEAVYWEIGHTS OF ALL TIME

    Who should feature in the top 10 of all white heavyweights?


    My pick for number 1 is JOE BUGNER. Might be a strange choice but at his peak and even somewhat past it I think he could beat any white heavyweight who ever lived.

    I wouldn't even vote on this. Skin colour shouldn't separate any fighter from being counted in a list of top ten heavies IMO.

    Vitali Klitscho, their kid, Jack Dempsey, Tunney, Maricano I'd rate them above Bugner.

    I totally agree.....although i don't think this topic was started from one of those perspectives..that one of the things i love about this site i may be just missing it but rarely does anyone bring race into boxing here....and that's how it should be

    Are we really at astage where we can't even talk about White and Black people now

    Would be ok to have a topic about the Best Heavweight wearing black shorts or would that be racist too.

    I just don't get how on earth anybody could object to this thread

    The world has gone mad

    I wasn't really trying to say this was racist, I was just making the point that it's pointless catagorising the two skin colours separately when discussing the best. Why would you want to?

    Hell let's fact it top tier White heavyweights are a rarity....If they were not we would not have the expression The Great White Hope...

    Though it started in a racial fueled time way back when Jack Johnson was the Champion it has stuck through,,,,,


    I can name all the white heavyweight champions off the top of my head easy as my SS# and dob...

    Just as the smaller divisions eg 130 and under have been mostly ruled by hispanics.....Facts are Facts...We can't change it

    I disagree.

    I think of it as bit of a brain teaser that gets you thinking from a different angle. It's easy to rattle off an all inclusive top 10 list.

    So, if someone asks me, "Who are the best white heavyweights?" my answer should be, "Sorry, that is inappropriate and I cannot answer that question."
