I do get your point, but ironically the current Heavyweight champ looks better than either...

You could do similar comparisons of NFL linemen from different eras as well.

... and usually white boxers are not
your typical eye candy.

Yes, but there are always exceptions to every rule.

Yeah we need someone like Tony today. Oh wait, never mind. They're pretty much all like Tony now.

Since you decided to bring race in, there have been plenty of white heavyweights with good physiques, just like there have been plenty of blacks with bad. It comes down to the individual.
And it's a bit strange you consider fighters as eye candy...but I guess thats up to you!

with all this you need to know that i
write it with a humorous mind, nothing
to be taken to serious. i just though that
i immediately have a long list of black
boxers with great physique in my head,
from johnson, louis, ali, norton, tyson,
up to holyfield. but when i think about
the whites, it ain't that easy to find great
physiques IMHO. tunney was a handsome
man, but didn't have a terrific body. well,
marciano might be somebody's ideal, he
ain't mine, and all the other great white
hopes right up to wladimir are kind of
similar to me.
btw i am doing a lot of visual stuff, from
painting to filming, so my interest is not
necessarily a pussy move.

I would take the fatties in a 4 man round robbin with Bruno and Cummings. Tim's a lock over both guys, if reality is anything to go by.

My "calling you out" on the eye candy comment was just a joke mate. I knew what you meant.
Jeffries, Dempsey, Rocky, Baer (at times), Morrison, Wlad, Golota when he was young, even a guy like Mark de Mori (does he qualify as a boxer haha) or Albert Sosnowski. There have been plenty of muscular or ripped or whatever descriptor you want to call it white heavyweights.

Actually while impressive, I don't think either Klit is as ripped as those guys or as Holyfield was.

They both have great physiques
I Found a better picture of Evander's physique than that, but for some reason it wouldn't go up when I tried to post it.

Evander is in his 40s in that picture; get a picture of him from the Bowe rematch; guy was so ripped it looks fake.
