Winky Wright vs Sugar Ray Robinson at MW

Finto.That's the third openly racist remark you've made over the course of about a week. All towards black people.

By my reckoning, I'd say that's about enough.

If true, then how do you justify Mexicans not dominating swimming competitions?

Hispanics in general are not the tallest. They have short legs and arms which means they don't get much leverage on their strokes. Take a look at the olympic swimmers like Michael Phelps and they all have long and lean physiques.

BTW, since I know where you're going with this, one 100m gold medal > 10 400m gold medals.

400m STINKS, it's for wimps really.

What a load of shit. It thrashes the most grueling energy system of all in the muscles the lactate system. Distance does not give you the pain, neither does the really short stuff. Also the 400 leaves you completely out of breath, neither distance or shorter sprints do that.

400 is the toughest. It's kind of like a little of the best of both worlds.

As a boxer, I'd recommend doing a decending routine though, a few laps warm up jog followed by sprints of 400, dropping to 200s, 100s and even 50s. I agree you still need to do the short stuff for explosive power in the legs. 400s will build that too though as well as stamina, perfect for an amateur with limited time and energy requiring efficient training!!

Finito do not be so ignorant, you are better than that.

Well racism aside we can probably make an observation about race and sport suitability here.

I think negroid people have heavier bone structure than caucasian people on average, meaning they are possibly more suited to such skills as sprinting which pounds bones into the ground. Conversely they are not as bouyant in water as a result and this is why we see a lot of black track athletes but not a lot of swimmers.

Larger framed caucasian peoples I think tend to have more tensile strength potential in their muscles than negroid people which is why we see more strong men who are white than black.

In boxing which is highly skill based and dependent on many physical traits we see a more even spread across the divisions.

That Mexicans populate lower divisions more and blacks the HW division is a result I think of the height differences and also cultural ones.

No it is not you wally.

It is down to societal and economic conditions hence the Irish, Jews, Italians, Hispanic and Black population have represented boxing fighters.

I am not denying those roles either. Obviously the situation is a bit complex. I just feel that racial factors do play some role, the examples I gave being somewhat relevant.

Not as relevant as environmental and societal conditions.
