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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
