Who will be the next Great Black Hope after Haye?

I should say Great Black Dope, like they referred to White fighters in the media when Blacks had the heavyweight belts. So, have you picked one out yet, kids? Doesn't hurt to start planning in advance.

Funny how they were never afraid to make it a racial issue when the shoe was on the other foot. There were always articles about the latest "great white hope" and "great white dope" back then.

Those articles were written by white people. The nickname great white hope was coined by white people The media is controlled by white people. What exactly did black people do

That is true - and likewise all these hateful moronic illiterate threads you see on these boxing forums are written by White kids.

The great hope is only used in heavyweight division not others weights

You need to get educated before making threads like this. Which black journalist coined the phrase 'great white hope'? LOL

Google 'Jack Johnson'. Free knowledge.

I think that term refers only to HW's. anyway, I'd say Kevin Johnson? damn sure isnt Malik Scott. last time I got excited about a black american HW was with Michael Grant and he failed. Bowe is making a comeback though, maybe he can pull a Tim Witherspoon and make a decent show of it.
