    for example it was used in an article by a writer describing James Kirkland as a great black hope
    http://thecomeback.com/queensberryru...ear-james.html

    ''Kirkland ? a kind of Great Black Hope who had once exhibited the potential to reenergize black boxing fans with his Mike Tyson-esque qualities in the ring ''

    HR: "I'm the Great Black Hope, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming and Rock is going to be the one to send them right back on their backs.''
