Yes the fxck we do. What are you, trolling right now??
If you grew up in the 90's on back where we had a damn there monopoly on elite fighters from Heavyweight on down, comparatively, perception wise it feels like "black" boxing is in a dead state, regardless of the continued success in the lower weight classes.
Hop in a hot tub time machine and tell a nikka from the 80's/90's that Caucasians would have a stranglehold on the Heavyweight division for 20 years...you would have a better chance at convincing folks Khalid Muhammad was going to be US president elect in the future.
But the continued success in the lower weight classes, but not at Heavyweight/Cruiserweight does suggest that the lack of consistent and elite "black"(referring to descendants of the middle passage) Heavyweight talent is a product of the rise in popularity and salaries of the NFL and NBA starting in the 80's...there was a time where the highest paid and most popular athletes in the NFL/NBA like Kareem, OJ etc. weren't even sniffing the avg salary of a top 5 Heavyweight contender let alone a champ...but that all started to change in the late 80's. The potential field of elite "black" heavyweights athletic talent has been getting siphoned off by the NFL/NBA for the past 30 years.
The fact that the best American Heavyweight champ/contender of the past 2 decades just hopped in the sport at age 21 with only a couple dozen amateur fights (only after previously failing at Basketball/Football at the collegiate level) but still was able to medal in the olympics and become an elite champ/contender against a field of international Heavyweights that were bred for boxing from elementary age tells you all you need to know.
More confirmation of this is the fact that we haven't seen practically any American Heavyweight amateurs molded from from the Junior am's (similar to Terrence Crawford, Errol Spence, Gervonta etc.) that have an impressive and standout amateur record even just competing in the domestic scene in about 2-3 decades. All the potential talent is on the hardwood and gridiron.
The Heavyweight division is trash. It has been for decades now.
Anyone who's using the success of black Heavyweights as a barometer for the current dominance of blacks in the sport doesnt know shyt about boxing period (OP)
A few seconds of research would show you that blacks are absolutely cleaning this sport the fxck up and have been for a while.
Seems like right now
up to 126 is Asians/Mexicans
Black fighters dominate 130-160 Haney, Spence, Crawford, Charlos, Stevenson, Tank, Ennis, etc
168 is Canelo
175-up has become European divisions

Come on breh, there are so many current high level boxers. Spence, Crawford, Haney, Tank Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Boots Ennis. Those are some of absolute best guys in the sport and to me Crawford and Shakur are generational talents.
Crawford, Spence, Stevenson immediately come to mind
