Did you know back in Jack Johnsons day the whites made a search for the White Heavyweight Championship of the world cuz they were so disgusted that Jack Johnson was Champ. That is where the term "Great White Hope" originated from. Look it up in boxing history you'll see this is a FACT. The thing is I dont hear none of you complaining about that now do I. :eek:
We do live in 2004 now you know....
The ongoing discussion about whether who would've won had the fight go on makes no sense.
We all know in boxing fights can turn around and anything can happen. And signs like VK was ahead or LL was coming on are purely hypothetical. Nobody knows what was gonna happen. The only thing we know is that LL won.
