    How many of you know of this great fighter?

    I was wondering if he was as unknown to average fans on here as I suspect. I hope you enjoy this terrific highlight, like I did, of the former light heavyweight champion who holds victories over both Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore, among others. Fantastic technician.



    I'm putting this here instead of the history section, because I'm certain most of the regular history posters know him well. I'm curious about the average fan here.

    Johnson was an all time great light heavy. Got robbed when losing the title to Pastrano.

          One of many great fighters from Philly.

          I think it was promoter Russell Peltz who said something like this in regards to Harold and his trouble being a popular fighter, "Harold is perfection and there is no room in this sport for perfection."
