    Great White Hope

    If "Lightning" Rod Salka would have taken Danny Garcias "0" in spectacular fashion, would he had been boxings next "Great White Hope" ?

    Lomachenko, Usyk, Gvozdyk, GGG, Groves, Callum Smith, Klitschko brothers, pretty sure all have white skin to name just a few.
    Then you got the up and coming white fighters Stoinis, Josh Taylor, Josh Kelly, Bes*****, Jeff Horn many more.
    Oh yeah and I forgot Rod Salka....lol!

      I’ma say Jason Quigley if he leaves Dominic Ingle and signs w/t Eddy Reynoso the kid might develop into a contender

        I've grown up in an era and environment where I've idolised black sportsmen most of my life. So maybe it's less of an issue to me.

        The heavyweight division just had white champions (Fury/the Klitschkos).

        Not exactly a Johnson/Jeffries era is it?

          Toss up between Usyk, Loma and Canelo.

          Don't count out Ryan Cowboy Karl though 2019 might be his year.

            What are you talking about?????? No white hope is needed. There are lots of excellent white champions and if you don't know who they are then educate your self and find out. Boxing scene and boxrec have all the champions and their records.

              I counted Cowboy Carl out long ago as a fun guy to watch but never a champion or top contender,

                At the time the phrase was coined, I’m thinking it went without saying that they meant White American HW

                  There's no "great white hopes" anymore, white fighters can hang with anyone now there's no need to overhyped them

                    Not gonna lie that Tyson guy is pretty good too.

                    I have him a notch below Wilder and slightly ahead of Joshua in the top 3 heavyweight rankings.
