Boxers Prison stories ?

Black supremacist Muslims basically....the fact one stepped to Tyson shows you how ignorant and stupid they are

I put em up there with those "black Israelites" that used to "preach" on the street corners of NYC(read yell provoking racist **** anytime a non black walked past them) my most fondest memory of them is watching a white manhatten executive type woman straight up start giving them the business and calling them out on their fairy tales

The scariest part is a lot of the guards at rikers island are black Hebrews and 5 percenters

 

There are a lot of fairly sane 5% Muslims. BIack Israelites are way worse and it's not really fair to group them together.

 

No mention of Jack Johnson yet!

He seems to have been a model prisoner for the most part, and was often asked to act as a body guard for prison officers.

 

Wonder if anyone messed with young Sonny Liston when he did some minor jail time?

 

They did.

It generally didn't work out well for them, but they did it!

 

I like it....Great info update !!!!

 

130 lb Matt Remilland who was twice national am champ and was 23 - 1 13 ko with only loss to Mikey Garcia spent 5 yrs for assault had to prove himself in jail. Matt quickly learned that he had to stand tough or his time would be hellish .Matt when another inmate attacked him he said he laid out the much larger man with one right hand and
my sentence was much easier after that.

 

James Scott's is a fascinating tale. He also beat Yacqui Lopez, I think.
I'm not agreeing with him of course, but have you ever heard what Harold Lederman (who was one of the official judges) said about Scott after that Mustafa Muhammad fight?
"On that day, I thought James Scott was the greatest light-heavyweight I ever saw in my life. That's how great he was. On that one day when he beat Gregory (Muhammad), he was the best light-heavyweight I ever saw. I never saw a performance like that — anywhere. I don't think Foster was as good as that. I don't think Moore was that good."
High praise, indeed.
