The Joint Association of Boxers (J.A.B.) is rallying professional boxers behind the campaign to pardon Jack Johnson by initiating a petition with boxing legends, professional fighters and fans.

"We in the boxing community have a unique opportunity to fight for the redemption of a pioneer in our field, said Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, President of J.A.B. "Fighters are the most exploited workers in sports today. Professional boxers are coming together and speaking as a community for one of our own, Jack Johnson."

This is an interesting bit of news. Wonder what's going to happen.

I'm honestly not too hopeful, but you never know, i suppose it could happen.

It will happen. It's just a matter of when.

I think it is great that the boxing community is getting behind Johnson. The man was a legend.
