    If Floyd = modern day Jack Johnson, then Pacquiao = ???

    I read that Jack Johnson book, Unforgiveable Blackness. Basically, there's alot of parallels between how Johnson was treated in his day for being black and proud, flaunting his wealth and successes, and it isn't much different from what Floyd does today.

    I am thinking that would mean Manny Pacquaio = Jack Dempsey. Solid fighter with not much substance, scared to fight the top black fighters and suspected of corruption/cheating. Not forgetting Dempsey's association with Tex Rickard, an early boxing promoter who was more interested in selling out arena's/making a buck than actually putting on the best fights.

      You know what's worse? That you actually stole my color also. If you look through user history you can see I've had this name and color/font all along, since 2010. You on the other hand have had it what? 5-6 months?

                you can't compare jack johnson to mayweather.
                black people aren't racial opressed and looked down upon like they were back then.
                mayweather being called a "duck" is nowhere near as close as the **** jack johnson was called back then.

                  Um, no. Johnson absolutely LOVED white pussy. The only women he dated and married were white.

                    Harry never made Tunney fight him at a catchweight though. And he beat up a lot of black fighters.
