i just voted for my boy jack johnson, dominated for nearly a decade defeating tommy burns for the title in 1908 and defending it against such notables as philly jack o'brien, al kaufman, stanley ketchel, the boilermaker jim jeffries, fireman jim flynn, and sam mcvey.
during his career, he also faced and beat klondide john haines, jack jeffries(jim's younger bro), denver ed martin, joe jennette, bob fitzsimmons, sam langford, and should've been awarded the decision from marvin hart.
butterfly, jeffries dominated for 10 friggin' years against most of the best(and yeah, he did fight some black fighters most notably peter jackson - he just never gave him a title shot).

dempsey had alot more fights. and jeffries ducked many black fighters, including johnson.
