Are black fight fans hyping up Spence the way White fans hyped GGG

[HarvardBlue]

I don't thinking anyone is hyping Spence up. Golovkin was being hyped when he was beating up mediocre opponents. Everyone was down playing Spence's win over Algieri, Bundu, and even Brook. Three solid wins for a fighter that just stopped being a prospect. I'm sure they'll be people down playing the win last night.

In terms of race, a black fighter getting some attention is not the same as a white fighter getting attention.

There's a reason it's called "The Great White Hope" and not the other way around.

it benefits the sport in so many ways to over hype fightes.

My question, why was this fight so hyped? Lamont never had a chance at his age

So he need to figth the 30 and under guys

Terence Crawford 32-23 (23kos)
Rashidi Ellis 18-0 (12kos) 23 yrs old
Keith Thurman 28-0 (22kos) 29 yrs old
Jeff Horn 18-0-1 (12kos)
Kudratillo Abdukakhorov 13-0 (9kos)
Zhankosh Turarov 22-0 (15kos) 26 yrs old
Julian Rodriguez (16-0-10KOs) 23 yrs old
Konstantin Ponomarev 32-0 (12kos)

It's like Spence is being placed on this high pedestal without fighting anyone spectacular. Brook was weight drained, Algeri was overrated, Bundu was pass it, Peterson had lost to many other greats before, yet Spence is now being ranked as an unbeatable force. We saw the same thing with GGG now we are seeing it with Spence. Is this pay back for all the years GGG was being hyped on this site?

of course he is.

if GGG was Black, Larry would throw buck neked parties every fight.

There is a difference between being excited about an up and coming fighter and over hyping. The WW division will come down to two fighters by end of 2019, Spence and Crawford. Hopefully they will be on a collision course and one of them becomes undisputed champ of the division.
