that means you know nothing about boxing before jack johnson correct?
That's correct.
Realistically I don't know much classic boxing outside of SRR, Dempsey, Sharkey, Tunney, Louis, and the like. Can you tell me something about this fighter?

he was the first black fighter to win a belt (this was wayyy before jack johnson, he became the first black boxer to win the HEAVYWEIGHT title)
Dixon was one of the all-time ring greats; He had fast hands and was quick on his feet like a cat; On offense, he hit with both hands but mostly utilized a long, straight left accompanied by a stiff right; On defense, he guarded himself well; His quickness and ducking ability made him a difficult target to strike
Nat Fleischer ranked Dixon as the #1 All-Time Bantamweight; Charley Rose ranked him as the #2 All-Time Bantamweight; Dixon was elected to the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1956 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990
I'm reading this in amazement.
Ok so I suppose theres not a single archive with a fight of his....right?
