They did what Boxing is all about, they performed a big show. Who were boxing's biggest showmasters inside and outside of the ring, selling entertaining matchups like no other?
Ali, Robinson, learnard, Jack Johnson, Max Bear, Eubank, Roy Jones All showman in and outside the ring
True somehow. Especially Ali and Jones. Not quite sure about Jack Johnson cause he had a pretty hard time being afro-american.
Johnson was a consumate showman. He would turn up to a fight wearing a pink suit or a bottle green suit, which was thought outrageous at the time. He wraped gauze around his ***** to make it look bigger. He conducted his own defense in a trial in England quite sucesfully. Everything he did was for effect.
Thought I was the only one who knew that. I've actually posted that fact a few times over the years on here. Imagine how angry white America must have been at him.
And because of that white men put a horse shoe into their boxing glove to throw harder punches. Just like Jack Dempsey.....:yep
