No Great White Hope since Gerry Cooney

[Freedom]

American white men are mostly soft, effeminate, overweight guys who watch too much TV, drink too much beer and eat too much junk food. Such men are not cut out for boxing.

The only good one I can think of in recent years was Kelly Pavlik, but he ruined himself with alcohol.

But there have been plenty of good white boxers from other countries such as the Klitschkos, Dariusz, Calzaghe, Povetkin, and many more coming up now such as Ponomarev, Gvozdyk, Beterbiev, Usyk, Lomachenko, Derevyanchenko, Magomedov, Mekhontsev, etc.

We American men are not effeminate, I'll give you all the others but I draw the line at effeminate.

guys dont get too down about amerıca---I been teachıng abroad 7 years---Korean, Malaysıan, Turkısh kıds are fat lıttle pıgs as well. McDs has permeated all countrıes and they are all wolfıng ıt down wıth trıple spare tıres and double chıns----I am 50 and I can do 33 pushups touchıng my chest to the ground----my 7th grade class here for example cannot even do 5 pushups touchıng theır chest all the way to the ground. The boys are all emasculated and femınızed pıeces of whıte globbısh fat corpuscles.

American fighters on the whole have been becoming more weaker and weaker as the years progress. jmo... could be the bad diet and all of that processed nonsense.

Floyd Mayweather makes up on SHEER SKILL alone. That and he lives, eats and breaths boxing. But even he and his brittle hands are frail. Plus, because Floyd can move around the ring, he doesn't get hit and he hasn't sustained a lot of damage.

A prime tommy morrison in todays era would "probably" be one of the best.

Effeminate? I don't think you are allowed to use that word in any generalization of American men! It's a grammatical error, and a dastardly thing to say.
Even saying, "Most American men are not effeminate." doesn't sound right. Right? Yeah, using 'effeminate' and 'American men' in the same sentence is a no-no!

Joe Bugner would have done a job on Cooney, I did advise him to go for him, in conversation after a London fight, but he chose to ignore my advice, silly sod he could have been the next great white hope! I am a Bugner fan, but on the wall in front of me I have a Gerry Cooney signed photo, if only we could rewrite history!
