All I am saying, and at least you can agree is that a Russian heavyweight is as far removed from being of British or American descent than are black Africans or Japanese.
It's not racist in the slightest to say that as an Englishman (or American) we share no cultural, religious or ideological heritage whatesover to Russians, so there has still not been a White heavyweight in the sense that a British or American fan would like to see.
I'm sure if Tommy Morrison became undisputed heavyweight champ, that the Russians would look on him in the same way, that he is American and therefore no more close to being Russian than Evander Holyfield or Mike Tyson. So they wouldn't think , great WE have a White Heavyweight world champion now.
Thats all I am saying, that a White Russian isn't a White British or American and so WE (America and Britain) are still looking for a great white hope!
Anyways I'm glad you saw what I was saying, you will probably be the only one but what the hell.![]()
