    Hmmmm, let's see. Johnson was much smaller, didn't take the best punch in the world, and had was knocked out/ drew/ knocked down by super middle weights. Johnson also lost to Hart, Klondike, and Griffin. The best fighter Johnson beat in his prime might have been a 5'7" 168 pound Tommy Burns. Sounds like a fair fight to me. Lewis would win every round here, and score a KO/TKO inside the distance.

    Yes, and those guys punched much harder than Johnson did, and were not afraid to take risks in the ring. Holyfield or Mercer would be the best fighter Johnson beat, unless you feel Langford at 20 years of age and 156 pounds was. Please explain to me how Johnson wins here?
