Yea, the average
West African (including african americans and caribbeans) have less body fat, higher centre of gravity, narrower hips, higher levels of testosterone and more fast-twitch muscle than white people or east-africans, Which would be useful in boxing, but I still think that its more a matter of training and maybe the black dominance of boxing is because more black young people get into boxing than white people.

Yes, it was a pretty sweeping thing to say and i'm sorry if I offended you. It is a generalisation and therefore will not apply to everyone. This is just the impression I get from my school, I also discussed this with my sociology teacher and she agreed with quite a lot of what I had to say.
