Should Louis have fought more than two black men in his 26 title defenses?

I'm certainly not upset with you Mr M, or anyone else who genuinely is interested in delving into this, I'm just one hundred percent convinced of the motive behind the OP. And, believe me that is not out of a genuine desire to discuss Louis challengers no matter which skin colour they happen to have been.

 

True.. The topic has changed over time. Let me clarify that my opinions are more in alignment with yours with slight variance.

 

true.

 

I've said on this forum that Johnson was an **** hole and in many ways he was.He was also a man full of contradictions, tremendously brave, , generous, especially to women, capable of great kindness,and just as capable of mean spirited behaviour, very intelligent ,and articulate,[he conducted his own defence at a hearing in London and made a fool of the authorities,]


MUlti- lingual , an inventor, musician ,author , sports columnist,bull fighter, and actor .
Interesting enough to have over 1400 pages in two volumes written about him in books in print nearly a 70 years after his death.and also have several other biographies about him.

Interesting enough to have three songs written about him, one a suite by the great jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.

Interesting enough to have a WW1 shell named after him.

Interesting enough to have a play and a film written about him.

In short a flawed human being ,but a fascinating one, who was determined to live his life on his own terms no matter the price he paid.
A man who, when last wife Irene Pineau was insensitively asked as she left his fresh grave,"what was it that attracted you to him" replied" I loved him for his courage,he wasn't afraid of anything".


I think that is an epitaph many would aspire to.

Does that satisfy your agenda driven question, which I saw coming before it had even turned the corner into sight.

 

The black women that Johnson lived with Mary and Clara both two timed him and took off with his money and jewellery,he was quite justified in his comments about them.

You totally miss the point I like Tyson as a fighter ,as a human being I don't. neither him or Ayala.
I don't like rapists and/ or those that have a history of ***ually molesting women against their will,and Tyson victims were being bought off before he ever left D'Amato.
I don't care for Johnson's style of fighting and state he was a flawed man ,[who isn't?]
But he was a fascinating and intruiging character.

You couldn't spring a trap on me if I was asleep ,you have neither the wit, the language skills or the verbal dexterity to inveigle me into any area in which I did not wish to voluntarily go, simply because you are barely literate and unable to articulate an argument or formulate an opinion..
I'm only condescending to explain my position now because it seems to baffle and confuse you so .

I'm content to be in the company of those that voted NO on this thread.

 

I've never seen the relevance of a boxers private life as it applies to his sport only in the way that it impacts on his performances.
Robinson several times severely beat his pregnant wife ,a couple of times so badly that she miscarried this was witnessed by his son.
Absolutely despicable behaviour, what has it to do with his ability as a boxer?


ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I firmly believe someone here can't get his head around the fact that Jack Johnson was putting his black dong into white p*ssy and also the rear exit hole! .Unforgiveable Blackness indeed!

ps Started Adam's second volume on Johnson, it's massive and crammed with facts and pics!

 

:good:rofl indeed.

 

Footage please.

 

You have to belong to the IBHOF before you can access the clips.Sorry:-(

 

LOL.... Especially the rear exit hole clip.
