why did black athletes start to neglect boxing

[SkillClash]

besides floyd, american boxing is pretty much a joke now,

its all eastern europeans and hispanics.... not saying there arn't good african american fighters, yet the only ones i can think of are mayweather and andre ward ( who is technically half black half white irish)

catching a ball is more fun than a fist

You get punched in the head...as your profession

Hopkins, Timothy Bradley, Shawn Porter, Thurman, Crawford, Broner are all Top fighters, and then there are the other Afro Cuban fighters and Haitians.

The answer is pretty obvious, but the better question would be why did american blacks stop playing baseball, which is the best sport to make it in and cake.

I mean you could make it in baseball if you have mad speed and are just able to put a bat on a ball just a little bit.

Not to mention if the good Lord blessed you with the ability to pitch with your left hand.

If I have a son that's left handed, we going to work early. Not throwing hard, but the art of pitching & location.

Boxing is a pillow fight compared to what NFL players put their body through

boxing training is harder
and your a knockout or two away from being called a bum
your also alone, no teammates, no one to blame, no one to cover for you on a off night

Rep for mentioning baseball, it's crazy how easily people forget that was THE black sport. I think the powers that be pushed us out... Baseball was, and was always intended to be (White) America's pastime, they weren't having it when a bunch of negros tried to intrude At the same time the negro leagues were caking in their own respect, so they allowed us in and slowly deferred to the dominicans and cubans. Competition was eliminated and a source for outside talent was regulated to their liking meanwhile, basketball and football blew up... just open season for nikkas. If you were balling, they had a spot for you. Sure enough, we forgot all about the game

the only neglect is in the heavyweight division, but that's everyone not just black athletes who have neglected that

so this thread doesn't make any sense

 

[Batsute]

WBO, WBC, WBA, IBA, silver belt champion, diamond belt champion, Rank number 15 fighting for the championship. It's too corrupt. The average person can't keep track of who's champion so it's difficult to follow plus you gotta pay to see your guy fight. Ball players come in and get automatic attention.

Imagine if you had to pay 59.95 to see the Detroit Lion play for a wild card spot.
