Greatest 24/7 of all Time

Yes, this thread pops up once about every 10 months and it's Johnson-Jeffries; nothing really comes close in all honesty. It's in a class of it's own for this sort of thing.

 

Yeah, here or in general. No harm no foul a thread will usually kick up at least one good post. The point is Jeffries-Johnson is the one.

Imagine: the most lauded champion in history, the "Champion of Champions" returns to the ring amid a flourish of premature glory and a flurry of unfortunate racial overtones. The only man in the world capable - supposedly - of beating the "Ebony Fighting Machine" that Jack Johnson had become...never was such a burden placed upon the shoulders of one challanger, ever, and nor would there be again. We'd be watching Jeffries train down from 260lbs to fighting fit and appraising the astonishing pressure bearing down upon the most watched man in the world, but how much would we be able to read on that stoney face...meanwhile, in the other corner, relaxed, absolutely at home with the media and with a story for every journalist on every occasion (and more), Jack Johnson, turning in a serious training camp but determined to remain relaxed - and to needle his man without getting lynched...and to get the fight won, and to be properly prepared, in the most savage racial climate the most savagely racial of sports has ever seen.

You wouldn't ****ing wait for the link to go up, would you?

 

I don't agree with that at all. They might be more interesting to you, but a black man dominating a white world, at a time when his win over Jeffries cost around 100 lives is far more interesting to me.

 

Yeah you can. You bloody well can. Even **** like Jeffries-Fitz has detailed, detailed accounts in mutliple newspapers of each training session...it's a god damn dream. Wish the internet would hurry up and reach levels of that kind of coverage...it's getting there.
