"The bigots that made this movie ten years ago would have never dreamed it."
Bigots, huh? I think two things are evident by your statement. One is that entirely missed the point of this movie and two is you probably never bothered to actually do your homework on the two people who wrote it.
hey klitsko is good and i'm not taking anything away from him or the other boxers. but most racist are starting to sound desperate. hey its okay for you to cheer on white fighters but don't sound desperate doing it. lets not forget thar blacks dominated heavyweight boxing for the last 70 years. and there will be another black heavyweight champ. plus brothers are not into boxing like they use to be. or i should say americans are not into boxing like they use to be. football and basketball give better outlets than boxing. why should we box for these promoters who take your money or better yet get your head pounded and never even make that money fight. so you had to go all the way to the former soviet union/eastern block/ russia just fids a white fighter.
I concur too . Blacks would rather play football or basketball than get their heads pounded by Russians. Wlad Klitschko is the baddest man on the planet!
yeah ironfist but you do also concur about tyson, holeyfield, ali, foreman, holmes, spinks, norton, louis, and the other champs. ther were the baddest on the planet in their day.

No it has nothing to do with white or black and everything to do witht he fact that the former soviet union is a present day *beep* hole. It is now the Africa of Europe that is why every Russian broad and her mother is a mail order bride trying to get out of there. Where there is a ghetto there are great boxers that is why the heavy weights are all white. I have no doubt in my mind that there will be even more fighters not only in boxing but other Contests like MMA, K1, and UFC from the former soviet union. There will be more to come my friends.
Correction black dominance begins after Marciano, so you are looking at more like 40 years. Also many Eastern Europeans can go into hockey, rugby and basketball so the excuse that the lack of a dominant American heavy is due to other sports is very much an Amerocentric excuse, and fyi I am an American.
Rocky Marciano was white and he won the heavyweight championship back in 1952 and held it to 1956. Not to mention he was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He had a perfect win record.
yeah but most real boxing fans know that marciaono was staged. now marcianao was a good fighter but everyone he beat was past their prime or washed up. but still one heavyweight for four years in through the wohole 1900's.
When he hasn't arguments (ironfist4), just repeat all the time the same whites this, whites that. Ask him "what's your name?" and he'll reply "whites are the camps". This guy has many complexes, have idols of the same color to feel he can do those things, too. Just read what he says: "We whites" "Watch my European brothers fighting". His real super heroes.
He used the word "bigot" all time, but he's the one, even can tolerate a movie and white writers which make fun about anything in boxing world.
Aight, no more comedies, no longer work, everyone like ironfist4 cry with them.
Good God! ironfist4 really has his nose buried up Klitschko's ass. I haven't seen asskissing ever reach a level this high. Holy cow! He's got dozens of threads out there talking about how much he wants to have sex with Klitschko. He's taken Brownnosing to an artform. I hope Klitschko gets a restraining order before something bad happens.
I'm not a leftist you brownnosing idiot. I'm not a commie or a democrat. Why would you call me that? Are you retarded as well as a World-Class Asskisser?
thats the biggest croc of *beep* I've ever heard. Marciano beat plenty of great opposition. Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore (don't give me that past his prime *beep* he fought for nearly 15 years after this and held a title for over 7 AFTER Marciano) Joe Louis was old but coming off of 7 wins. If we had someone like that today (even if they were 38, *beep* look at James Toney) they would be considered the best HW on the planet. Marciano had a higher KO ratio than George Foreman (not to take anything away from Foreman, who would probably beat Marciano).
In fact I favor Marciano over Ali.
Anyways, Marciano was a great fighter in his time, and just because he was white doesan't mean *beep* he laid a smacking on everyone he met in the ring, you can't take that away from him.
yes marciano was a good fighter but lots of experts said that about marciano not me. ah and toney sucks anyway. overall boxing is not what it was twenty years ago. and thats defintly a fact.
And at the time this bigoted anti-white movie was made Wlad Klitschko was about to win a gold metal in the 1996 olymbics. Now Wlad is IBF champ and the best heavyweight on the planet. Watch him destroy black American Calvin Brock on Nov 11.
I love race related posts. Its so funny to see white people who in the normal world NEVER say half the $hit they say on the internet to a brothers face, get on here and talk like they just led a klan demonstration. These are the same people that when they see their black co-workers at work, say "hey, how was your weekend friend?", them run on here and say "long live the white man!" or something.
Reading these posts, I've twice seen someone mention that this movies "bigoted". Click on screenwriter Ron Shelton. Dude looks pretty white to me. The real issue is..."is this movie written by a reverse uncle tom?" freakin douchelords....
I don't think it's just fear of getting their asses kicked that pushes people in general to forums with their racist propaganda. Dudes like ironfist in real life woul be shot down altogether for voicing their opinions like they do by people both black and white. Logical people don't listen to biases in argument, and racism is one hell of a bias. And anyways ironfist just proves the point of the movie as it is, you can sell white fighters to white people because there are still out and out racist out there who can't handle an african american making money. It's just sad is all.
You can sell white fighters to white people? Boxing is an ethnic sport. Everybody roots for there own kind, but whites can't? I Don't abide by the the double standard that infests this country and I will continue to root for my white east Europeon brothers who dominate the heavyweight division.
Lmao, you've scared me! I'm sooo sure you could beat me down! (Starting to cry) why, o why did I post that?? NEwayz Challenging someone who put u in your place to a fight? What a cumstain. I would kick your a$$, but vladamirs c-ock is embedded so far in it that you may not be able to pull it out to fight. (not that you would want to!) So in closing:
when you have his child, make sure to use an epidermal since the pain may hurt your tender vagina ok "ironfists"? Btw, what a cun-ty name.
And its a shame that boxing draws the primal racist out of people. I've been debating with this idiot ironfists simply because its fun, but realistically I like the klitchkos despite them deing a different hue than me. Its ignorant IMO to feel that a fighter represents a whole race, and fighting is somehow symbolic of a contest of athleticisms between two races. These are two individuals who trained to fight, and y people (like the person who started this post) takes so much pride in the color instead of the individual athlete is beyond me. All it is is a fight, proving one GUY is better than another.
There are other full contact sports where race really doesn't matter...boxing is the only fighting sport I know that has an obsession with race (BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC)
It is obvious you are a complete idiot if you think W.Klitschko is or any of the other Eastern Europeans are the best out there. Boxing is about politics, and that is precisely what is taking place right now. Everyone will have their moment in the sun, before things get righted again. Afterall if you really knew boxing, you would know that all of the Russian champs except 1 has been knocked out by a black fighter, one of whom I can name who is still fighting, but because of politics will not get a title shot, unless hell freezes over. The one lone Russian champion, the 7 ft "fraud" is only so, because he has not ran into a technically skilled fighter as of yet, or politics like I said. I like to see a good fight no matter what color of skin, and for you to be an American and make the distinction between an american who just happens to be black instead of having pride in your country the USA, makes you one self-hating individual. Be proud to be an american, no matter the color, and support your fellow Americans.
2004 What an idiot you are. Anyone who knows boxing knows Klitschko is the best heavyweight today. He lost to Brewster? that fight was a fraud. HE WAS DRUGGED! Klitschko's size and skill would make him hard to beat in any era. He is also a nice guy and a gentlemen. That's why I like him. By the way Klitschko tried to get a rematch with Brewster and he refused. The Brewster people know he can't beat Wlad. Yes, Valuev is fraud. Wlad would slap him silly and Don King knows it. Your bum Brewster also lost to Russian Liahovich.
Bigoted Idiot.You know nothing about boxing. What do you mean righted ? The champ has to be a black American? Won't happen for a long time. Wladimir ducks nobody!
Ok boxing dummy, it is time to school you. I did not mention any particular person by name, because the Klutso brothers are not that accomplished as your lil mind thinks they are. For one, Lamon Brewster is not the only person to knock W.Klutso out, he was also knocked out by Corrie Sanders (a white guy) and Ross Puritty (a black guy). Lamon did not deny him a rematch, out of fear U dummy, he did not get a rematch because he wanted more money as the "supposedly" marquee named fighter. Since when does the loser get to dictate who makes more money? Also U dummy, can you explain why if your fighter is so great, that he did not go back and avenge his earlier losses? Matter of fact have you seen those fights??? He got his ass whupped that is why he wanted no part of Mr. Sanders, or Mr. Puritty again. And to be truthful none of Lamon Brewster, that was his corner's doing, which is why they wanted more money just in case their boxer was left incapacitated from the next ass whuppin, he would have some money to retire on. Now I know you don't want me to even mention the fact that he actually lost the fight against the no talented but learning pro-amateur Samuel Peter. Yes W. Klutso staggered Peter, but could not put him away. Yet W. Klutso got knocked down 3 times and still got a gift win. It Peter had to fight Fat Toney in a rematch, then the same should be said of W.Klutso. Now lets not mention that other fraud Lya-onda-grounda-Khovich. How in the hell does someone who is supposed to be so good get knocked out by the ancient ass Shannon "Show Me The Money and I Will Quit" Briggs? Ok U Dummy, the lesson is over for now. Get your facts straight before you come at me again, U Dig???
All total bullcrap. All lies. You and that other bigoted jerk Nidi just can't take it that a white east Europeon is the champ. Wlad is the best heavyweight today, anyone who knows boxing will tell you that. Your boy Lemon Brewster ducked Vitali and got beat by the great Kallie Meehan and Sergie beat his butt. Brewster will never step into the ring with Wlad again.
This idiot is telling me the three fights Wlad lost as if I don't know about it. 47 and 3. One loss very questionabe. 41 KO'S . How many fighters have a better record? You are just one of haters who some sick reason hates a great fighter and a truly nice guy like Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight champion of the world. Learn to deal with it.
I got it, it is apparent that you rode the short yellow bus to school, and stayed in one class all day. You probably even brought your Batman & Robin lunchbox to school every day with your homemade Goober sandwiches. You have put up three posts and yet have not added anything meaningful to what I posted. Like I said before U Dummy,get your facts straight before posting. Here I will give you some homework more on your level, decipher the Peter-W.Klutso fight for me, and tell me how did your boy managed to get knocked down 3 times by an amateur like Peter??? Better still how did he managed to get the win?? Sounds like "boxing politics" to me. So U Dummy,after you do your homework, tell me, do you think that W.Klutso will be so lucky against Peter again? Of course I know your answer already, I just want you to post something predictable.
"You are a bigoted idiot blegit2004! The great white champion with those unstoppable caucasion genes will destroy any colored in his way! You obviously didn't notice how wet the ring was when Peter "knocked" him down those 3 times! Now if you will excuse me, I must now pray. All praise Klitchko, God of Land and Sun.... All praise Klitchko, God of Land and Sun..."
Vitali Klitschko is coming back! Soon the Klitschko brothers will own the heavyweight division. I suggest bigots like nidi and the other jerk take some prozac and maybe you will feel better. By the way Wlad was knocked down by Peter with punches to the back of the head which are fouls and anyway Wlad dominated the rest of the fight deserved the win.
Boxing, more than any sport is cyclical. It normally follows like this, the lower rungs of society are the boxers. 10s-20s White Americans, mostly immagrants. 30s-70s Black fighters. In the late 70s-present you have seen a lot of Mexican/ Latino fighters. Now you are seeing the Europeans, mostly former Soviet block. Next, I'm sure either Africa or Asian fighters will make up the majority. What does it all mean? Boxing is an easy way to make money and if you are poor (and can't play football or basketball) that makes sense.
what do you have to say now, a couple years after wlad knocked brewster right the hell out of boxing? and vitali beat the ever loving crap out of peter. purrity? sanders? where are they today?
I don't think there is anything wrong with people saying it is nice to finally see a caucasion win the boxing titles. Just because we are caucasian doesn't mean we aren't allowed to express pride in accomplishments, just like the way other races and cultures do.
"And at the time this bigoted anti-white movie was made Wlad Klitschko was about to win a gold metal in the 1996 olymbics."
As I stated prior, you have no clue what you're talking about. First off, this "bigoted anti-white" movie was written by two white people. More importantly, the point of it all wasn't necessarily that all white people suck at boxing but that when it comes to selling products to a predominately-white buying public, they would rather support a manufactured white figure than an authentic black one. The same way that Vanilla Ice was manufactured by record companies as being a white guy from the streets, Terry Conklin, a retired amateur, is suddenly thrust into the spotlight as a serious contendor despite a non-existent record as a professional.
I don't care whether he does or doesn't. Once again, the point the movie was making wasn't that white people suck at boxing. Go back and read my last post. Matter of fact, don't bother. Clearly, you're reaching for any argument that you can find and won't be persuaded by something as trivial as acurrate information. I find it especially amusing that you seem to look at "Hype", a movie that clearly has a sense of humor, as being some great "anti-white propaganda" film written by two self-hating left-wingers.
If the film's writer Ron Shelton sees whites as inferior boxers, he certainly didn't seem to carry that feeling over to his next boxing-themed film, "Play It To The Bone" which happened to star Woody Harrelson (who last time I checked was in fact, a white guy) as a boxer who more than holds his own in the film's climatic battle.
Again, for the cheap seats. "Hype" isn't so much saying that whites are inferior athletes. Yes, I know Sam Jackson's character makes statements like this but again, this guy isn't the moral compass for the film either. It's not commenting so much on white athletes as it is showing that the mass public (i.e. white people) have a tendency to overlook talent in favor of skin tone. Peter Berg's character hasn't boxed in years and is built up around hype. The crowd would rather watch an overhyped white media creation fight the champ then a talented black challenger. Clearly, this point was completely lost on you.
"Written by two white people? You mean self-hating leftist Hollywood vermin."
Exactly and let's not forget all those lovely studio execs who green-lit it in its various stages because we all know how all these studios are overrun by black executives and decision-makers. I'm just glad you're hear to unveil the truth involving how the black-dominated Hollywood system forces white writers to degrade their own race.
Hollywood has been anti-white for a long time. I can't even begin to mention all the anti-white movies that have been made in recent years. Hollywood is overrun by lefist selfhating whites, mostly Jews. Whites overlook talent instead of skin tone?. Every race roots for their own kind so why is such a big deal if whites do. This movie is an offensive, degrading and insulting movie to all white people that have any pride. With the fall of the iron curtain some of the best fighters of world have been unleashed. The heavyweight division is now owned by white east Euros. Why no white Amercans? My therory is because of movies like this. White America has been brainwashed to believe that they can't compete with blacks so they don't even try. This is now being exposed as a big lie by our East European brothers. Watch HBO on July 7 and watch the most skilled big man ever to box. Both Klitschko brothers and Povetkin will all hold titles soon. The hollywwod bigots that made and acted in this movie never would have dreamed it.
There are no great white American heavyweights because of movies like "Great White Hype"? That's priceless. Almost as funny as your statement about Hollywood being "anti-white". For the record, "White Hype" wasn't a hit movie. It's barely garnered a cult following. The fact that you think a largely forgotten comedy that took in less than $8 million in the domestic box office had this huge impact on the world of boxing shows what a nieve individual you are. But of course, this is all part of the master plan by the self-hating white man in Hollywood to make himself look inferior so that black people will take over the world, right? Instead of hiring black executives and greenlighting more positive black films, they are going to use small indepedent white-made films to ruin their own people and damage the sport of boxing for the white man?
"Whites overlook talent instead of skin tone?. Every race roots for their own kind so why is such a big deal if whites do."
How is an Italian-American or Irish-American kid rooting for a Russian or East European fighter viewed as "rooting for their own"? They aren't the same nationality. If you're an American, born in America, why would you root against another American fighting a European? An Italian rooting for an Italian fighter is one thing, that's issue of nationality. If the guy comes from the same city and you relate to his story, that's fine. If he's from your country of origin, more power to you, but people from East Europe aren't cheering for Americans with West European roots so why should you relate to their fighters more than black and Hispanic fighters who were born in your country?
Crazyjim you're fighting a pointless battle. Idiots like this guy have no logic or reasoning ablilites, otherwise this post would have never started. I've debated with this guy just for entertainments sake, but the fact is people like him don't get the idea that mankind will progress with acceptance. The antiquated notion that any color is "better" than another is something even animals don't subscribe to, yet ape-men like him will continue these pointless posts to get attention and spout off about people like klitchko who wouldn't in reality spit in this "persons" direction given a chance meeting. I did enjoy your arguments and valid points tho.
What an idiot. I never said any color was better than another. It's the Hollywood leftist bigots that made this racist movie and they are now being proven wrong thanks to my east Euro brothers.
I never saw that crap but Eddie Murphy once joked whites like Rocky movies because it makes them think they can beat blacks. Nobody is laughing anymore.
"I never saw that crap but Eddie Murphy once joked whites like Rocky movies because it makes them think they can beat blacks. Nobody is laughing anymore."
No. He said Italians, not whites. And plenty of people are still laughing including many Italians because that is a damn funny stand-up act.
UFC is glorified gay porn. Boxing does not cater to the same audience anyways. UFC if for the shaved head, trailer park white guys. Boxing has a more upscale audience.
MMA and boxing are sports that both take a lot of skill. Obviously mma isn't just for white trailer park guys, since it outsells boxing. Also the UFC has had to African American champions within the last year. As far as boxing, it is not dead. It is in a desperate need of a young american star, or even a descent heavyweight. While the Klitschko brothers are on the top of the division they would stack up against any of top heavyweights of the past. Neither of them could beat any of the top heavyweights of the 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's.
Shane Cameron is long way from the top 20, let alone the champ.
HW boxing has sucked the big one ever since Lennox retired. It doesnt matter what country the champs are from, nobody knows or cares besides their countrymen.Last HW champ that really had a global following was Tyson, and before him Ali....I remember ppl getting excited because of David Haye, and thats only cause he talked good but got out of his one sided contract to fight Wlad (I dont blame him either, 2 rematches plus a fight with his brother should he win? come the *beep* on)
I dont care if the HW champ is from america or europe, as long as he is exciting to watch and is the undisputed HW champ, these "champs" now a days wouldnt be if they fought where there was only 1 champion per division.
Wlad is boring anyway, his brother is the better of the 2 for sure...and if they had a fight it would be a first for the divison and could make alot of $$.
