Jose asked in SportsBoxing · 3 years ago

If White American boxing fans really cared about a "Great White Hope" in Heavyweight boxing, then why haven't any of them ever celebrated...?

the Klitschko Brothers dominating the Heavyweight Division for nearly a decade(mid 2000s-early 2010s)?

I noticed how some casual fans and promoters are obsessed with race and having another "Great White Hope" World Heavyweight Champion yet we had that already with Wladimir and Vitali Klitscho yet none of them(not even White American boxing fans) gave a rat's *** about them.

They might as well rename their expectations to "Great White AMERICAN Hope" if their idea of a "Great White Hope" is a White man from the US, winning all the World Heavyweight Boxing Titles.

    Klitschkos were boring *** european style fighters that plodded along to victories. I am white but I don't give a damn about a great white hope. I just like brutal punchers like Tyson blowing guys up. GGG is probably the best white guy out there now and I do like him. Nice guy, good puncher, lots of skill.

    Because they don't really mean great white hope, they mean great American white hope, I do think that many that think like that would support a white heavyweight from some countries in Europe, but few will if the fighter is from Russia.

    At least they're still better than the tiny ugly Brown Indians .There are better white boxers than ugly Indian boxers.More like Brown Indian hope.Ugly Indians are desperate for Whites.They always try to breed with White.No brownies in Telemundo.
