Who Thinks Jack Johnson Could Step Out Of A Time Machine And Fight For A Belt?

No, Calzaghe ko 1 Johnson

 

Perhaps if he were to mug someone for a belt that they just purchased in the parking lot of Carson Peire Scott, then the answer is yes.

 

Lets be honest here.

Some of the curent belt holders are little bettter than the white hopes that Johnson is criticised for defending his title against.

 

Of course,

Johnson would walk right through Klitschko, Maskaev, Chagaev, Ibragimov, and Valuev like they weren't even there.

Its a no brainer right?

 

Problem is Jack Johnson is like.. an OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD timer. Sonny Liston is an old timer..

 

Only some of them.

 

Based on the fact that Johnson couldn't even throw a jab! Someone with a semi-bareknuckle style like everyone of his time would get obliterated under modern rules.
Same thing would happen if you would put current fighters under their rules.

 

I am not really a fan of putting in heavyweights from the eraly days with the current crop, but I'd give Johnson a great chance against any them maybe Wlads size and power would be to much but Wlad glass jaw would give Johnson a real shout.

 

I think you need to go back and watch some of his fights.

 

Johnson used his jab extensively when it suited him.

Dose anybody ever consider that reliance on the jab in modern boxers might actualy be a weakness?

 

Not me.
