"the great black hope"

[malikomoman]

I agree it's a double standard. Funny thing is I doubt the black HW's back in the day cared about race when they were fighting. Its self hating white ******** and racist ***s that poked fun at great white hope fighters failing. But now that we have the klits, they just shrugg it off as " hey well the division is weak"

And I know a lot of black boxing fans and they don't root for only blacks.

So in conclusion the haters are all self hating white ******** and racist ***s.

You sound like the racist one

racist whites always use " white ********" (which basically means N***** lover in code) and ***s as scapegoats

anyway your own people coined the whole "great white hope" phrase

[Rick Grimes]

There seems to be a double standard.

We've often heard "great white hope" and there was even a movie "the great white hope" and another "the great white hype"

But you'll be accused of being racist as some people get upset with "great black hope"

That DOUBLE STANDARD is racist.

It would be racist if white people hadn't started it.

He'll probably blame it on ***s rofl

no single race or nationality can rule boxing forever

cant believe this way of thinking even still exist....DAMN WHEN WILL RACE BE IRRELVANT?? we all train,lace up and put our lives on the line when we enter that squared ring,its 2 men(or woman)in the ring willing to risk their life to entertain fans and attempt to get a ring..and some a.s.sholes are still stuck on what color they are...

I wish everybody was like you, Larry. You judge boxers solely on their abilities and merits and not by race.

But unfortunately, the reality is there are still 1) mentally ill self-hating whites who probably were abused by their fathers and so hate white men, 2) gay white men who are attracted only to black dudes and get excited only by black boxers, and 3) a few black supremacists like Bhopreign. They really do hate the Klitschkos and other white boxers because they are white.

you can't totally ignore race, that's part of the drama of prizefights.

LOL...****in hilarious


I really believe that b-hop reign is one of those whites, pretending to be black. I really get that impression when I read his post on NSB.

Honestly It should be "the great american hope" because it's really a nationalistic thing when it comes to the Klits. I say this because the same b1tching and moaning was going on when Lennox was champ.

Americans were praying and hoping Grant would take the strap from Lewis and when he got destroyed....they rallied behind a shot Mike Tyson.

Not sure how many were following boxing close in the early part of the decade, but there were tons of articles etc...hyping up American fighters to become the HW champ (regardless of color).
