One More Question

Heavyweight father of Jethro Bodine.

**Kidgarfield** · 08-25-2005, 08:05 AM

Max Bear.
You sure Jim Jeffries wasn't the original White Hope, considering they coaxed him from retirement adn 300+ pounds to fight Jack Johnson?

**BAREKNUCKLES** · 08-25-2005, 08:12 AM

Technically, you are correct.

Jim Jeffries fought Johnson before Willard. Willard actually beat Johnson, however.

Since Jeffries came before Willard, he could be considered the original white hope.
