Some fun facts about Jack Johnson

[jrosales13]

just the first black HW boxing champ thats nothing.....he had to go halfway round the world just to get a shot......at least he fought some black boxers unlike jack dempsey 10 years later who ducked many fighters including all black ones.....btw what does beating hos have to do with him as a fighter....i guess you can discredit sugar ray robinson monzon tyson too....i like how you blame jack johnson for holding back black people, yea he was the one who did it.....go back in your cave.......

Jack Dempsey actually did fight a couple black fighters. Like John Lester Johnson who I read broke Dempsey ribs during their fight.

the thing is, no one cares because abuse on women was quite normal in that time. most men abused their women in such a time....women have only recently come a long way.


in that sense, you're heavy duty trolling.

end thread.

So... let me get this straight... are you telling me... Jack Johnson.... was a human being?!?!!?!?!?

He beat women. I don't know that situation or if it's the entire story, so I won't comment on that.

Holding black people back? That's a hard one to prove. Realistically, it'd have been hard to market a black on black boxing match, so there was no money in it. He's also not the only and definitely not the first heavyweight to do this. So, this point is.... pointless.

As far as what other fighters felt of him, it's mainly about personality. Once again, I don't know him. So, I don't judge that. However, no one mentioned anything about his skill or lack of skill. So... I don't really care about that.

so...let me get this straight...Hitler was a human being?!?!

normal people dont beat their wives so badly they have to go to the hospital.


I didnt know him either, but I listed some quotes by people that did know him. Even someone that fought him multiple times.(Joe) I think Ill defer to their opinion. and if you could ask his suicidal wife, I dont think shed have very many good things to say about him either.

did you just compare a man who beat up a woman (in a time where it was considered normal to do so) to a man such as hitler who gassed & killed millions of people?
