        Johnson's skill as a fighter and the money that it brought made it impossible for him to be ignored by the establishment..
        Yes, but that wasn't why JJ was hated.

            Floyd is hated because he's a *****.

                  why did 20,000 WHITES go see him fight Tommy Burns?

                    Ali understood the value of self promotion and talking **** to get people to notice you.......

                    whether people pay attention to you for something good or something bad...they are still PAYING ATTENTION
                    Exactly the case with Mayweather too. Mayweather just need to ignore whatever these people say and keep doing great things and fighting the best like he has. History will remember him RIGHT.

                    FFS When is it too much? The p4p #2 was considered a tuneup!!!! The p4p #1 also won't put Floyd up there as an ATG he is, in the hater's opinion. Apart from disgraced Margarito and 40 year old Mosley there are absolutely NO WELTERWEIGHTS for Floyd to fight in a fight which makes sense for him at this stage. It's Pacquiao they one remaining. The one who almost tied Floyd up in accomplishments and he needs to beat him. I believe Floyd can do it. Haters can talk all they want, they matter not.

                      Johnson's boxing style was very distinctive. He developed a more patient approach than was customary in that day: playing defensively, waiting for a mistake, and then capitalizing on it. Johnson always began a bout cautiously, slowly building up over the rounds into a more aggressive fighter. He often fought to punish his opponents rather than knock them out, endlessly avoiding their blows and striking with swift counters. He always gave the impression of having much more to offer and, if pushed, he could punch powerfully.

                      Johnson's style was very effective, but it was criticized in the press as being cowardly and devious. By contrast, World Heavyweight Champion "Gentleman" Jim Corbett, who was white, had used many of the same techniques a decade earlier, and was praised by the press as "the cleverest man in boxing"

                      Johnson's skill as a fighter and the money that it brought made it impossible for him to be ignored by the establishment.

                      did he have the same personality???
