White American boxers like Mike Lee (20-0, 11 KO's) and Mark DeLuca (20-0, 12 KO's) are both now middle aged prospects (30 years old), however they may make some noise when it's all said and done.

i saw a program asking why this question but why how the usa have got no heavy weights . they were saying after collage football,baseball, or sports in general which if you play means you've had to gone collage or university , so they have had an education, they were saying the whites op out for careers in law , doctors , blah blah , they were saying the same about black heavy weights fighters ,where they gone .the program was just when wilder was starting out, but they were saying in general both whites and blacks are opting out for more money sports or careers such as american football

Who's the last white American boxing star?


He was certainly not on the Mayweather/Pacquiao level of celebrity, but he gained quite a bit of attention.

I suspected that it was because of his skin color.

Kelly Pavlik, right? He was the last really good fighter I could think of that is a white American anyway. Unless I've just forgotten someone. the ghost was brilliant, not just white ,a real working town fighter

Then again, how many really good w/A boxers have there been since after the 70s? You're looking at guys like Lalonde, Morrison, Mancini etc... Pavlik might even be the pick of that whole bunch. Now I've got to be forgetting someone.
