    Jack Johnson that is. But how would he have fared facing these White heavyweight s from different eras?
    All 20 rounds and Johnson era rules.
    Georges Carpentier?
    Jack Sharkey?
    Max Schmeling?
    Tommy Farr?
    Arturo Godoy?
    Joey Maxim?
    Ingemar Johansson?

    Loses to Sharkey, knocked out by Ingo and gets embarrassed against Schemling. He beats the rest.

    I'm not sure in what sense Jack Sharkey could be considered a white hope.

    If he'd being around in Johnson reign, he'd have being considered a white hope.

    Schmeling, Sharkey and Ingo had good chances to win. The others get KO'd.

    The more modern guys may struggle a little with the ruleset of his era. Well, maybe.
    Johnson is a good-sized heavy with a style that was developed within his era. It's his house, so home field advantage at the least.

    Well he certainly gave Louis a tough first fight, so he can definitely give Johnson one too.
    I wouldn't rule out Godoy taking him to a close decision loss.

    I would make him favorite over all of them, but he likely slips up somewhere.

    More likely that he just had the right tools to trouble Louis.

    I think Maxim gives him problems, to be honest. I could see Max or Info stinging him, especially Ingo if he was in shape and used his legs.
