Yikes... You put a lot of effort into this.

Im afraid to say, truth is not allowed when inconvenient and painful.
We choose what truth is to us.
For some people, that is all all of it is.

You are hurting people.

This idiot is listing world champs and multiple weight world champs as underachievers why don't you go out and win a world title if it's so easy?

I see the OP's point. I cant speak for other countries but here in America people are brainwashed by black and white, and have been for years. Theres great boxers from all kinds of different conplexions and countries. And then theres many that dont live up to the hype. Just wish we could leave skin color out of it, here in America

Now do a great white hopelist

[Curt Henning]

Hasim Rahman referred to himself as 'The Great Black Hope' cause all the champs were white for years.

Joe Louis' book is even called 'The Great Black Hope'

You people are always searching for a hope to beat Usyk, Golovkin, Usyk, Fury, Beterbiev, Lomachenko, Josh Taylor etc

canelo whooped golovkin....a green 23 year old american beat the great loma(oh wait hed lost already)....and ward stopped kovalev...i know you dont want to put him on that list but he was once as feared, if not more, than most of your cute little list

I cant wait for the day were we dont mention race as a main characteristic of a person.

Eh...

I am kinda willing to bet OP is American (possibly British but I kinda doubt it) but definitely anglicized. I've noticed that America produces hardly any caucasian fighters these days. I'm not sure if they've all just turned to MMA but I remember Arum (I think) claiming that the UFC was a place for white dudes to enjoy combat sports without having to be "inundated" with black faces (though black talent seems to rising there too as well). I honestly feel the particular kind of virulent racism has kind of robbed white americans of their ability to fight. Even here in the UK you'll notice a ton of working class lads in boxing and fight gyms with a diverse set of clientele but there, it seems like white Americans avoid boxing/kickboxing/striking precisely because of its diverse talent pool. Its also rather intruiging that a lot of the talented white fighters in, say, the UFC, tend to come from freestyle wrestling...a sport also a preserve of surbuban american rather than the inner cities.

OP seems to be what a lot of young white men have become all too good at doing...bloviating online. Their time would be better spent in a gym getting fitter. I kinda notice a similar sentiment among Fury fans here in the UK too. God forbid if he's to ever lose a fight in the near future...**** knows what they'll do.
