I should say Great Black Dope, like they referred to White fighters in the media when Blacks had the heavyweight belts. So, have you picked one out yet, kids? Doesn't hurt to start planning in advance.

That is true - and likewise all these hateful moronic illiterate threads you see on these boxing forums are written by White kids.

I think that term refers only to HW's. anyway, I'd say Kevin Johnson? damn sure isnt Malik Scott. last time I got excited about a black american HW was with Michael Grant and he failed. Bowe is making a comeback though, maybe he can pull a Tim Witherspoon and make a decent show of it.
