    Stop trying. Johnson turned down these fights and didn't fight ONE of them as champion. Hmmmm..... Maybe he'd risk his belt milking title.

    I can't make Clay appear, but if he does you won't have a leg to stand one. It's clear Johnson is some sort of symbol to you.
    You are clearly the one who is trying, but you should be aware by now that you've failed.
    You claimed he didn't accept any fight with Langford. You even posted an article about a 1910 proposed fight. Do you care to tell us how that negotiation turned out. What was the end result?

    Let's see if you can give a straight up answer without ducking. No more games, Dr. Z. Please tell us what happened.

    There is a reason Johnson never acceptd this fight, and once pulled out of this fight to meet him in 1909. 1909 was Johnson prime, only to see him get out boxed by Jack O'Brien, TKO'd in a 4 round exciting match by a green but formidable Gunboat Smith, and floored and hurt by Ketchel.
    What was Langford's "time," because you do realize that Johnson had him down for a count of 9 twice. Sure he would have been bigger in a rematch, but so would Johnson.

    The O'brien fight was for 6 rounds. I give Greb a very good chance to run around from Dempsey in 6 rounds, like it seemed Obrien was able to do, though he did go down once and get his eye busted.

    Johnson never fought Gunboat Smith in an official fight. When did that happen? You are referring to sparring I'm pretty sure. Or maybe you can show us the official fight?

    Johnson faked going down to Ketchel. Even Langford believes he faked being down.
