sounds like Warren reads too much into the media hype instead of how fighters are rated by the opposition they beat. As for the shady decisions in the US, ive always thought it was the other way around with US fighters getn jobbed over there. As for GGG getn a strong push, look at all the Champions in every division and look at their skin color..HBOs trying to push a "Great White Hope" its clear. We can pretend HBOs not doing that but theyre aiming for a demographic.
