Brewster was going to rule the division. After all, he made a name for himself by "destroying" tall, white Heavyweights from Europe. Man, the press could just eat it up. Who was actually picking "that white guy" to win. They can't fight after all.
...And New WBO Heavyweight Champion!
Of course we all know what happened, and is it really any surprise that the media quickly switched focus from the Heavyweight scene to the up-coming "Superfight" between Mayweather and Judah? The media couldn't stand the fact that the wrong guy won. They tell jokes about white fighters, but they just don't seem to have the same effect they used to.
From 140 (Super Lightweight) to Heavyweight, the racial breakdown of the title holders are: 14 White, 7 Black, and 6 Hispanic.
Wait a minute? All four Super Middleweight champions are white? All four Light Heavyweight champs are white? Two (and soon to be all four) of the Heavyweight champions are white?
Well, to the casual boxing fan, or the uninformed, these facts are unknown. To him, Toney is really the best heavyweight, and nobody at 175 can beat Antonio Tarver.
Don't worry, when the media clams up, and has to hype a Zab Judah fight, that's when you know that another white fighters done well.
