    Each Fighter is given a test in his era and they have to see how well they do. That's all that we can view them on to be fair. But I still wonder how many could have done what Johnson did ?
    He certainly is someone of interest to study as a "Historical" Figure. And I'm not talking about just as a boxer...but as a "MAN"...a "Human Being" that rose up above what he was dealt. The Man certainly wasn't perfect so I don't need anyone to go on about that. I know. He isn't perfect. Who is?
    But let's look at the overall picture and Yes, include everything: The Good and the Bad because that's what made the "Man."
