    Cheers man!

    And yeah I couldn't imagine going back to ten posts or whatever, the forum moves too quickly so it's hard keeping up when you don't have it set to maximum imo.

    Sorry guys, but none of you were even close. :lol:

    For future reference - Osaka, Japan is thirteen hours hours ahead of the U.S. eastern seaboard.

    So at the times of these posts it was 12:18am, 3:05am and 3:08am local time respectively. :yep

    Japanese boxing main events usually start between 5am and 7am EST. (6pm and 8pm local time - they're early birds :conf)

    Like I tell people in Rummy's Challenge, to be on the safe side you should always get picks in for boxing matches in the far east by the night before. :deal :good (ditto with Russia, even though their cards are usually peaking at about noon eastern...it's too easy to forget and say "Oh, I'll make my picks in the morning..."...and then never remember to)

    Peter "The Black Prince" Jackson
    47-3-4 (33)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This man was, imo, the first great coloured fighter in heavyweight history. It was because of him the colour line was so famously drawn by John L Sullivan and again by the following champions. Outside the ring he carried himself like a model gentleman but inside the ring he was a force of nature


    Jackson was, even by todays standards, a natural heavyweight with one of the most devastating 1-2's in recorded history. He bested George Godfrey for the "Coloured Championship" and then went on a great winning streak that saw him unoffically declared the best HW on the planet for a period of about 4 years.


    He fought the best of his time (bar the HW champ who refused to defend against him) and shared the ring with peers such as Lees (x2), Dooley, O’Donnell, Godfrey, McCauliffe, Cardiff, Maher, Smith, Goddard, Corbett and Slavin going unbeaten against them all going 10-0-2 (8 by way of knockout). He suffered his first defeat very early in his career after only a handful of fights and he wouldn't taste defeat again until he fought the late great James Jeffries, by this time, however, Jackson was on death's door and would often be seen using a cane to help him walk.


    His best opponents were arguably Godfrey and Corbett, the best fighters on either side of the colour line and he proved his greatness by destroying Godfrey and fighting to a 61 round draw against Corbett.

    After breaking his arm against Patsy Cardiff, Sullivan became increasingly more inactive and ineffective and it was during these years that Jackson was on his best run against the above named fighters. after beating Slavin, Jackson himself was aging and went inactive whilst his former foe, James Corbett, went to outlast Sullivan and knock him out over 21 rounds.


    We can never be certain how Jackson would have fared had he been granted his much deserved title shot, but one thing is clear, the man proved his greatness despite being shunned and now 123 years later he is being appreciated as he deserved.


    Without sounding too political, the IBOH themselves sum it up best with their opening statement about this great warrior


    "Racial prejudice was the only thing that kept Peter Jackson from his chance to win the world heavyweight crown"
