Speaking of un-hate, i.e. Love, for non-American, but fashionably Black, fighters, in the controlled US media, I just happened upon this brilliant item from AOL News three years ago:
"[Sam] Peter improved to 30-1 by beating Maskaev, and that one loss was to Wladimir Klitschko.
So if the Peter-Klitschko rematch that everyone wants actually does
take place, and if Peter wins that rematch, Peter would join Lewis and
Marciano in that elite company.
Of course, the 27-year-old Peter
has a long career ahead of him, with many more opportunities to lose.
But it's possible that when we watch Peter, we're watching a fighter in
his prime right now who will some day be mentioned alongside a pair of
all-time greats, Lewis and Marciano.
