Rocky Marciano?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Oscar De La Hoya

Mikey Garcia

[DrDuke]

Oscar De La Hoya

Mikey Garcia

Those are more of Latin-American heritage.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Oscar De La Hoya

Mikey Garcia

Those are more of Latin-American heritage.

That's like saying Rocky Marciano was Italian heritage.

Not exactly. Ethnically Italians are of the larger European ("white") heritage in comparison to the Latin-American people.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Who’s more American?

De La Hoya or Marciano?

Both born in USA.

Both of Marciano’s parents are from Italy.

[Coco]

Oscar De La Hoya

Mikey Garcia

Those are more of Latin-American heritage.

That's like saying Rocky Marciano was Italian heritage.

And Pavlik is of Polish heritage

[DrDuke]

Who’s more American?

De La Hoya or Marciano?

Both born in USA.

Both of Marciano’s parents are from Italy.

Historically the USA is a country of immigrants, so the word "American" doesn't have a firm ethnical context behind it.

do you consider all mex-americans to be white americans.........if mikey garcia counts as a white american?

i was thinking more of guys of euro heritage.......polish, irish, etc. guys like joe smith and plant. i am wondering who the most recent american fighter like this is to outachieve pavlik

if we are counting mex americans in there.........there will be far more to choose from since they do so well at boxing

[Coco]

Tommy Morrison, Mickey Ward, Willie Pep, Billy Conn, plenty of Italian Americans in Basillo
