The New Black Hope?
For decades, the black fighters have been dominating the heavyweight division and after Lennox retired, Vitali Klistchko was regarded as his successor. Shortly after Vitali Klitschko's retirement, there were many threads on who will be the next White Hope and now this..
How quickly did the Eastern Europeans took over the HW division?
Who could have thought?
Are there any Black fighters in the division that could potentially dominate?
Rahman - Maskaev has his number.
Brewster - Lyakhovich has already beat him and who knows when will he be able to fight again
Peter - Klitschko already has a "W" over him and would feel a lot more comfortable if there is ever a rematch
Byrd - No comments needed
Toney - Too out-of-shape, too small, and is getting old
That only leaves the unbeaten Calvin "The Boxing Banker" Brock and possibly Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs as the only black hopes? Does either of them have what it takes?
So my question to you is, who is, or will be the new black hope?
There is also a lot of new talent that keeps coming from the same Eastern European block:
Ruslan Chagaev
Sultan Ibragimov
Vladimir Virchis
Alexander Dimitrenko
Alexander Povetkin
Roman Greenberg
Albert Sosnowski
Does it mean that the young Americans have lost interest in boxing and as many say are more into football and basketball? Or is it the fact that the sport of Boxing grew in the Eastern European countries, producing quality opponents/champions from areas who have never competed in the passed?
