    I am going to start this appreciation thread with some of the reports of his second career.

    Here is some from the Pat Lester fight. A highly ranked opponent, coming off an alleged 8 year retirement (Jeffries eat your heart out if this had any semblance of truth). A truly dominant and underated performance.

    Actually sadly i dont think this fight will link properly. type johnson lester into the search engine and read the first link if it doesnt.

    An amazing fighter. Especially for the times he lived in. He and Jack Dempsey were definitley the best heavies,by far,prior to Joe Louis.
