@mozfonky is my favorite native fighter.

 

[Queen B]

Comanche Boy

- He is 34 - 2 boxer
- He was multiple kickboxing champion
- #7 ranked Greco Roman Wrestler in the USA

He will be fighting Olympic GOLD Medalist Ryota Murata and the Crawford/Postol undercard. Great match up too.

Wouldve loved to see him try MMA>
Remember how everybody was talking about Sherk/Floyd and Sherk/Cintron?

I think Comanche Boy wouldve really mopped the weak MMA 155lb division at the time.

 

[Queen B]

Well if you are naming Central and South Americans too then of course there are better boxers than him.

indigenous? native american?
guess we have different views on who qualifies as what but the guys you post are just mesitizo or latino. and jack dempsey is like a lot of white americans, a mix of different european descent and some native american.

marvin camel was good though

 

[Mr2urbo]

Just about every great fighter from the Americas has Indigenous blood

well technically latinos aren't not indigenous we just have other ancestors as well and some of us have closer links to the native side than others.
that being said i grew up around natives and if you aren't 100% and from the rez then somebody somewhere is going to think you are not a real native.

i know latinos arent indigenous thats why im a lil confused as to why ts posted so many people that are basically just latinos.

? huh?

 

[zapataxiv]

nah we are indigenous just not pure blooded indigenous people a lot of latinos/chicanos have very strong connections to the native side of our heritage. because of that i think there is not a problem with latino's and chicanos with the right background classifying at least in part as indigenous.

 

[Mr2urbo]

? huh?

A huge portion of "latinos hispanics chicanos" are Mestizos or Mulatos

Is that re-phrased enough for you?

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

latinos is a cultural term. Many mexicans and other south cnetral americans have more indigenous blood than us natives despite being called "mestizo." As a native american myself all these fighers are obviously indigenous to me w/e language they speak.

 

[Osculater]

How I see it every white American who is at least 1/8 native American is indigenous to me
