    hey, you might be on to something with your "Golden era".

    John L. Sullivan, Mickey Walker, Jim Corbett, George Dixon, Joe Gans and Joe Walcott were GREAT fighters.

    He turned out to be an outspoken supporter of that old segragation - when good people in America were making great strides to get rid of it.
    He joined a cult that preached further and stronger segregation and separation of the races. He preached about the evils of integration and the need for separation.

    Not in public, I hope. They shoot people here in the favelas for looking that stupid (Unless you're Marv. In which case you don't look stupid at all).

    But did continue to recognise him until he had his day in court ,which the boxing bodies did not do. Nat Fleischer the owner ,founder, and editor of the Ring campaigned strongly for Harry Wills to get a title shot, he was also a very close friend of Jack Johnson's.

    NO racial bias can be pointed at Fleischer.
