Jack Johnson 2 title reigns puts him in top 10

All very true, and he is definately a top ten.

But getting knocked cold by Joe Chyoniski, a natural light heavy, is a mitigating factor.

And regardless of how past it he was, his getting knocked cold by Jess Willard, one fo the least talented, is another.

 

Head to head, he remains in my top-280. KUDOS!

Historically, he is definitely top-10.

His pawing, slappy style would not last against today's superior talent.

 

Joe Choyniski could knock most heavyweights out, Fitz style.

Many if not everyone that fought both of them said Joe hit harder.

 

What? Like Ibragamov, Brewster, Thompson Austin etc. :huh :nut
