    Lets not forget who paved the way for boxing..... the one race you left out of your list when hector asked you - why does it have to be about race?? Why can't it be about the 25 greatest boxers of all time, instead of top 25 black boxers of all time??? You replyed: because it's been done before and listed a whole group of races that obviously did not incluse white people. Why is that????? I tried to leave a comment on that page and conveniently, the page doesn't work. Well in any case i have two huge words for you. "KLITCHKO BROTHERS". They are as white as they come, very Ukrainian, which i am proudly a white, Ukrainian male. Just incase the " race card " is played on the flip side- as in - i am racist because i am white and having the balls to speak my mind and stand up for not only my race but my nationality ........... i have to of the most bmmeautiful words in the world that the great sport of boxing was ever so privileged to write about, and even compare too..........MIKE TYSON......... there ya have it!! I love MIKE TYSON!!!!!!!
