    Johnson dumped Burns hard twice in the first round of their fight. He undoubtedly carried Tommy thereafter.

    I think he def. did carry Jeffries. Fitz aligned opinion on that matter has already been referenced - I believe Sharkey felt the same. Also, Corbett wanted to pull Jeff out by round 8 (?).

    Johnson wasn’t uber cautious, rather, he was uber causal, joking and throwing out an endless stream of verbal taunts.

    The duration of a fight films were also a consideration for successful marketing - Johnson knew that.

    Johnson can be clearly seen easily landing a cracking right cross in round 4 that caused Jeffries to stumble forward into Johnson’s arms upon the end of the round.

    Jeffries can be seen pawing at his nose immediately afterward - good chance it was the moment his nose was broken.

    Jeffries still showed enormous courage but he only lasted into the 15th because Johnson allowed him to.

    Johnson carried Ferguson in one of their fights also.
    ,Burns,Ketchel,Jeffries,Munroe.
    Some people just can't bear to face the fact that Johnson sometimes fought under wraps,hate does funny things to people,it warps their perceptions.

    You need to stop using the term hate like a teenage girl. It's a tired out tactic used by you and your alts, like the one you just quoted. Just because we don't believe Johnson carried Jeffries or Burns doesn't make us "haters". That's a childish take on anyone who disagrees with you.

    I have no alts.In my opinion you are a Johnson hater and a poisonously phobic one at that,vying with your predecessor here who is thankfully banned for life, that is your prerogative, but absolutely nothing you have to say on the subject of Jack Johnson is /has/ or ever will be taken seriously by me. You offer nothing of any value on Johnson, just well nursed bile.
    I regret interceding on your behalf, I should have stayed silent and let you be banned,that's one good turn that has come back to bite me on the arse!lol
