Why should Blacks be ashamed? Mayweather, Bradley and Ward (Black-Irish) are pound for pound. There's prestige associated with being a heavyweight champ because several atgs have competed in that division, but the reality is that it's currently one of the weaker divisions in boxing.
No shame.... When you consider that more young black males are going to college, the increase in opportunities in other sports, and other doors opening that were once shut to black people it is no surprise that there are fewer black heavyweights around. There are better ways to make a living than getting slugged by an angry 260 lb man. As more Mexican-Americans get educated and grow in the white collar world you will ask what happened to all of the Mexican fighters. There won't be any shame in that either.
What is there to be ashamed of. We have the greatest heavyweights of all time and have the greatest fighters in the lower weight divisions. And we also have the big one. Sugar Ray Robinson. And the next five greatest are black.
Keep in mind that I am a Mexican-American guy that grew up during the 70s and 80s and I remember black boxing fans then saying that you ain't s*it if you ain't the heavyweight champ. They used to make fun of the lower weight divisions that Mexicans dominated and look at black boxers now. White Euros dominate the big boy divisions and all blacks have is Mayweather and some decent boxers in the lower weights like Bradley and Broner.
