    Excellent video! It bothers me that he rarely gets mentioned in discussions about important AA athletes in history. They always talk about Jackie Robinson, Ali, Jordan, but JJ was the real deal! Young brothas just don't know!

        Jack Johnson is an iconic figure in boxing and in American history as well. He was tall, muscular and was much more physically imposing than his mostly white opponents. His style was basic yet very effective and very entertaining. He had the killer instinct and was also a showman inside and outside of the ring. Truly an important fighter in boxing history...

          Its not new but its First Class. Glad you found him.

          I think its one of his (reznick8) best videos. His work is second to none. I would guess he does some type of production work in his day job.

                Jack Johnson was a jackass and overrated. If anything he set blacks backwards with the way he acted outside the ring, and the only good fighters he beat weighed 170lbs or less. he won by leaning all over opponents constantly. One he became champon, he shunned fellow blacks and didnt let guys like non-156lb Langford get a title shot.

                Joe Louis was far more important to AAs than Johnson, who is only overrated because of being the first HW black champion(which means very little).

                  a real legend.

                  so sad that there were so many people that were so ignorant and hateful,and for no good reasons what so ever. still sad that some still are,but its getting better,colour is no reason to be a hater.

                  But he really stuck it to them!.

                    How does he set black backwards, he was not responsible for racist stereotyping, if he does something wrong what does him being black have to do with it, you sound like a racist yourself. Jeanette, Mcvea, Bill, and Ferguson were not less than 170lbs, jackass. Its clear that you hate that era of boxing, stop with your biased transparent crap that you constantly spout out.
