True, he would have done really well during amny other periods in LHW history. Still, he carved out some excellent successes for himself even in his own competitive time and for which he is remembered and appreciated. You can't miss true excellence.
Archie ,talking about Johnson," Harold couldn't draw his breathe at the gate", "I'm tired of fighting Harold,he makes you do all the work!"
Johnson is easily one of the best light-heavyweights ever, and one of the most underrated fighters of any weight class ever. His best and most important win came against Ezzard Charles. That's a must-see performance. Johnson's peak actually came well before he finally won the title. His career was hampered somewhat by having to share the division with Moore, plus a strange KO loss to Julio Mederos, in which it was speculated that Johnson either took a dive or was drugged.
