As long as I can remember, any heavyweight boxer who was caucasian and a contender was always called "The Great White Hope". Now that ALL of the heavyweight Champs are "White", do we call every other boxer who is a contender in the heavyweight division, and not caucasian... "The Great Non-White Hope"?

...or the "Great American Hope"
...the "Great Non-Eastern Block Hope"
.. the "Great Un-Frankenstein Hope"

...or the "Great American Hope" ...the "Great Non-Eastern Block Hope" .. the "Great Un-Frankenstein Hope" I like the second one. I think this happened because we lost so many clubs. That kid from Reading called himself "G.W. Hope," as if hedging or something, and got suh-moked. Good. He was undoubtedly white, but far from great.
