    Since this has been super color line oriented in the past couple of months I figured it might be interesting to approach this from the other side. Who are non-african american fighters who were avoided or not given a shot or kept on the backburner for ages? I think Joey Giardello is a common example and Greb as well. Any suggestions?

    I recall Janitor mentioning Melio Bettina and Louis as well.

    Jake Lamotta seems to have had to wait a long time for his shot at the title. The story is of course that he finally took a dive against Fox to get it.

    Marquez and Martinez for a long time, partly bad management in both cases though. Greb against a few of the champions
