Don King's great white hope!

[potatoes]

Even Don King can figure out that there is no future with the sick old men currently at the top of the heavywieght division. That is why he is promoting Mario Preskar. With any luck this kid will punch those bums back into their wheelchairs.

no such thing as a great white hope anymore. the term is extremely outdated. it's origins date back to when jack johnson won the heavyweight tile from tommy burns in june or july of 1907 i believe.

it should not be used today, for any reason.

Still waiting for the ******s in the pimpmedia, and jerks like the guy above, to start treating us to their litanies about great Black hopes and great Black dopes that they treated us to in reverse for all these years, but i ain't holding my breath. the latest hyped up great black dope, briggs, is some winner ain't he - and the usual simian breast beating and criminal vulgarity - and the media whores smile and suck up to it and call him "personable" when he screams at Lyakhovich and his wife and child "***got!"

Mario Prekar isn't big enough. He is a good boxer, but not good enough to do much at 6'1 215 lbs. A really great boxer like Toney or Byrd can do something at that weight, but not this guy. Don King is promoting him because there is some money to be made from the Croatian community coming out to support him. Kind of like Duddy with the Irish, but Duddy actually has some potential to go far.

Don King goes where the money is. Period.

Especially when 3 out of 4 heavweights are white

Maybe we should calls Shannon Briggs the great black hope

Good point.

Don King has always wanted a white heayweight so he could make more money with him, but now everyone has one

it would be logical if black people in droves actually put stock into the HW Championship, but i seriously dont see that..even from myself...i dont give a flying **** about the HW division ..at all in many respects, everytime i get my hopes up i get failed.

example

i was on vacation in LA when the sultan ibrigamov fight came on, i made sure to catch a 1am replay that came on as i was exhausted from going to sixflags, i stayed up and was beyond dissapointed that this hyped up russian struggled and was knocked down against ****ing RAY AUSTIN. Then i get all excited about Sergei because of his combinations and quickness, and he cant even get by shannon ****ing briggs. man forget it, its hopeless no matter what.

I always knew the jury was still out on serge. should never jump on a fighters bandwagon after just 1 big win. espescially when its against a fighter thats so up and down like brewster,,plus the fact that serg was knocked out by the mighty mo harris
