Jack Johnsons Coloured Title reign

It´s on paper more impressive than in reality. It would have been interesting, how he would have done against a mature and peak Langford for example...

 

True ,L ,but you could say the same about a few of Langfords contemparies,and also ,how would Jeffries have done against Johnson in 1905?There is no doubt Johnson avoided the best black fighters after he became Champ ,his legacy rests ,really,on his work before he became Champ.What credit you give him for that is personal opinion.

 

You know that I rate Johnson pretty high, but I just wrote my opinion that his record looks on paper better than it was in reality. For example Camacho, if we 2 for example are newbies and don´t know **** about boxing, we look at boxrec and see him beating SRL by TKO and beating Duran, on paper it looks great, but the reality looks different. But of course, when we compare Johnson with other ATG- HW like Dempsey, his record is much, much better...

 

We can allways agree to differ amicably L ,I like your posts and comments.

 

Thank you, I have to say the same about you! :thumbsup
