    I'll bet they would have been impressed, especially if you showed them footage of Mike from 1985-1988.

    Boxing politics?? No.. It goes as far as American RACISM.. Nothing less. No coloured man was permitteted to hold stage, show bravado, dominate via physical superiority or become recognised as the Master of 'masters'.

    Jack Johnson slapped the racist white faces to the point of petty control. The wannabe white supremist was bent over and F$%KED.

    I read somewhere that he was out walking one night, when he saw a stray pair of eyes, but no figure, in the darkness. Instantly he knew what it was. Petrified his pulse skyrocketed and seconds later he was on ground hving a heart attack and releasing his bowels all over the place.

    True Johnson,about Big Bill Tate, and Dempsey befriended his old nemesis,
    John Lester Johnson before JLJ's death.
    Aside J-according to some guys smearing a dead great fighter as a "racist",somehow makes this poster feel "noble ". But if the remarks come from the other side ala Ali, fuggetaboutit. Cheers J...

    Especially as Iron Mike was an AVOWED Jack Dempsey fan!
    The mature Jack was far to much of a gentleman not to acknowledge a sincere complement.

    Schmeling was 99 and Jimmy McLarnin was not far behind.

    Don't let pesky facts get in the way of a good "racist" labeling!

    There is a huge difference between accepting historical facts as facts and revisionism.


    :thumbsup


    I guess Schmeling must hold that record right now, dying just shy of his 100th birthday.


    Because it fits some people´s agendas.
