    100 years later: great white hope to great black hope

    Back in the days of Jack Johnson, the sportswriters and boxing fans were looking for a great white hope to defeat him and become heavyweight champion.

    Now, they have been looking for a great black hope to take away Wladimir Klitschko's titles. First it was Sam Peter (2006-2007), and now the great black hope is David Haye. After Haye, they will be searching for another.

    Why couldn't people 100 years ago accept Jack Johnson as champion, and why will they not accept Wladimir Klitschko today? Why do people place so much importance on skin color?

            Wtf was the point of this thread? Your a sad character man. One thing is for sure Soviets will not be able to keep the titles for another 10 years let alone a hundred.

              I would have loved to see Jack Johnson vs. Wladimir Klitschko.. Wlad would take his head off.
