Why are the best white athletes and fighters usually Slavic

This will be a provocative question of sorts, but i noticed that among the white population of the world.. the best white fighters and athletes tend to be Slavic compared to Western Europeans or White Americans

basketball you have Luka and Jokic. boxing the best white fighters tend to be from E. European or Ex-Soviet countries, you have a few Western European elite fighters like Fury and Josh Taylor but its rare

sorry, its just something I have noticed

this might not be true, but I think its true for at least combat sports
 
...

I mean all we need to do is name one Olympic combat sport not swept by Slavs and it's done.

So.. judo.

Like rocky Balboa said. They've got the hunger.

Edit: this is survivorship bias at its finest though. You're only seeing the people that succeeded and not the bodies piled along the way.

I look at the NFL, major league baseball, golf, the UFC as a whole, and hockey, and I am not seeing it.
 
America doesn't produce that many great white NBA players. Everyone's from Europe for some reason. Might have something to do with AAU ball?

That being said, this kid is currently the no. 1 ranked high school player...

Slavic or just people from Eastern European countries which are quite poor? For example I too am Slav and our country is nowhere near the poverty of Ukraine or Russia. And actually we have a lot of foreign football players in our teams for example.



People in those countries really want to make it. We are quite good at hockey, and I believe our only contribution to USA teams were Hašek and Jágr.

Did they really forced players wearing a mask during a match?!
 
Hard lives make hard people. Also as someone who comes from the northwest of Europe (Norway) and moved to the east (Romania) I can tell you that the culture here is a lot more oldschool when it comes to training; you either push yourself to the max, or you are a worthless piece of trash, a sissy, and a little girl. There is no thought given to hurt emotions or bruised egos.
 
My guess is nurture more than nature...

Let's take Khabib Nurmagomedov as an exemple.
He's crazy strong and wrestling savy.
Is it slavic genetics?
Or the fact that Dagestan is basically a dry as fuck mountain with russian helicopters circling 24/7, and the only r&r is wrestling bear cubs?
 
Jake fucking paul?!
hes 4-0 and defeated two former mma champions he's the golden boy 💪 heck I should've included logan paul as well who went the distance with the goat floyd mayweather nevertheless the paul brothers most definitely neutralizes the OPs argument :messenger_beaming:

Yeah but we are talking about best athletes in the world and the opponents for paul were kinda pathetic except 40 years woodley coming from 4 consecutive defeats, and he was almost getting knocked out against him...

There are like thousands if not milions of better boxer than jake paul...

You know what. Yes, the three stripes are a meme at this point, but fuck it - tracksuits are so comfy i'm wearing my three stripes with pride almost daily. Working from home alows me to be the real me.
Doesn't help i (realy) love hardbass so i might be taken for a gopnik when i'm driving 😐
 
Theres different types.

I actually prefer more explosive athletes.

Mac Mclung, dude is only 6'1 in reality with short arms. He has a top 10 vertical leap in nba history, #1 at the 2021 combine, and fastest player ever at the nba combine.

Unfortunately for him, he's not a great basketball player, lazy defense, below average shooter and passer. But just an incredible genetic freak thats short by nba standards.

This is high school mix from a few years back.

Remember that the best player ever of the most popular sport in the world is a 5′ 7″ white man from Argentina.

As for combat sports, It usually Nature, they almost all have similar background.
Hard childhood, distant or abusive father, no economic prospects, abused or bullied in school.
They got hard because they had to.
 
If we're bringing up other contenders, it highly depends on the sports type...for example take a look at the 2018 winter Olympics medal haul...now keep in mind that Norway is a country of only 5 million people.
