Jeff or Johnson-best comp as champ?

I feel the same way about ali, I guess I have to banish myself from the classic section now.:!:

 

Interesting point. My take on Johnson’s historical significance is what most boxing fans know him. Many fans have never seen Johnson go a few un-edited rounds, and if they have, the quick conclusion is he wasn't nearly as impressive as Dempsey, or Louis. Even less fans have actually read some of Johnson’s dubious news paper reads. When you tally it all up, Johnson’s ring prowess is certainly over rated.

While Johnson could be boring, I’d give him far more credit if he beat the best fighters as champion even if he was boring. But boring vs tier two or tier three heavyweights, and not looking food in the process is what I see or read too often.
