    There would have been other "white hopes" -- overhyped club fighter mediocrities and maybe men from other weight classes like Czyz.

    How ironic then that you have done exactly the same with your latest Tyson bashing thread.

    Granted, I may lack your erudition and eloquence-- I'm just a simple man -- but you diminish the overall discourse on this forum when you demean me with names like "idiot."

    Leonard never drew the color line. He fought over 15 black opponents, a and was even saluted by the black press of the times for doing it.

    By the way, great thread. Really puts certain champions and their alleged accomplishments in proper relief.
