LOL. The Great White Hype was a comedy movie that was a parody of Mike Tyson vs. Peter McNeeley and Larry Holmes vs. Gerry Cooney. I don't think it was meant to be disrespectful.
yea,,,I liked the movie but I kinda cant help but feel bad for certain fighters that get that hyped label. its got to make them feel like crap. like failures

In some cases. But Peter McNeeley seemed to embrace it:
Surprisingly enough, if you look at the rings top ten by weight class, there are a few more white fighters than black fighters when you total it all up. I always thought it would be the other way.

lol,,,,he was so bad that Im sure any type of recognition hed take. Im talking about good fighters that couldn't quite reach the next level but gave us some good fights and showed heart. those types of guys I feel bad for
...was a funny ass movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Berg, Jeff Goldblum, and Damon Wayans.

I'm very disappointed this thread isn't about the movie.
The guy the champ was ducking always reminded me of Antonio Tarver for some reason.
If your talking white fighters that have been hyped and not lived up to their expectation, none of the above fit that bill. Vitali klitschko is a 3 time heavyweight title holder and former Lineal champion. Wladimir is a two time title holder, the second reign consisting of 15 defences, 3 major, 1 minor and a Lineal title. Dariusz michalczewski is a two weight world champion, former unified and Lineal champion he defended his title 23 times. Ricky hatton two weight world champion, unified and lineal champion at JWW, title holder at WW. Joe Calzaghe is a two weight lineal champion, who defended his WBO title 20 times while unifying with the IBF, WBA, WBC titles.
Tommy Morrison, Gerry Cooney, David Lemieux these are white fighters that have been hyped and not lived upto their potential. But there are fighters of all races, Rocky Juarez, Jeff lacy, Andre Berto. These are fighters that were also hyped up and failed to live upto their handlers expectations.
Vitali has never been the lineal HW champion, not in the recognised universal sense. He had the RING belt, but don't confuse the two

the Klitschkos, Michalczewski, Hatton, and Calzaghe weren't hype jobs either, TS is just trolling and race baiting with this thread.
