    Here are some really good articles on the breakdown of johnson stylistically and from a physical standpoint. you can of course watch videos of him pwning everyone on youtube, but this is an easy way to get a grip on why i think the way i do about this matchup.

    Jack Johnson is seriously over-rated. The stuff he used to do in the ring as a fight - holding while hitting, low blows, rabbit punches etc - he wouldn't get away with it now.

    Tyson also fought fighters that were siginificantly bigger, hit harder and were much better schooled than Johnson. There's nothing to even suggest that Tyson would lose even a second of such a meeting.

    Seriously, half the ******s on here have never seen Johnson fight and the other half are glory supporters because it is the socially desirable thing to say that old school fighters were best. That is complete and utter rubbish. Just go watch as much Jack Johnson footage as you can and tell me in which department he is better than Tyson.

    If Johnson was around today, he'd be a fringe contender at best. The past is seriously over-rated.
