    Kinda my feeling as well. I don’t see him as looking marketable and he’s not an exciting fighter or ko artist. Sort of hard to be the great white hope when you basically identify as black and the superstar you’re fighting is visually whiter than you anyway.

        Obviously, his fame would skyrocket

        But he's not white, he's black inside

          I disagree with Plant not embracing his white fan base. It's not like he's ignoring them or anything, but it's just most hardcore boxing fans in America are latino or black. If he breaks through to the mainstream, the white fans will be there. His fight in Nashville had plenty of white fans in the crowd.
