No Great White Hope since Gerry Cooney

[Beanz]

I aint countin the white russhans. Deal is, no great white hopes fora dang long time. Is Tyson Fury who steal his name froma black man up for great white hopes?

Lol how does one discount the very reason there is no need for one? Its a phrase attached to the heavyweight division from the time of Jack Johnson but now the roles have kind of reversed haven't they. That is to say if the demarcation line in boxing for you is the colour of a mans skin. What you have now is a Great Black Hope errr Hype in Mr. Wilder.

Btw Tommy Morrison qualifies.


Now what do we call that 7 foot Chinese dude?

Sir?

Any heavyweight labeled with the name Tyson Fury and willing to punch himself to achieve victory has to qualify as great white hope
