Jack Johnson showed a immense pride in himself as a black man, when blacks where still getting hung and castrated! (He showed a tremendous amount of balls inside and outside of the ring)...Muhammad Ali used to sometimes chant...."The ghost is in the house!" referring to the ghost of Jack Johnson! during the build up to some of his fights!
I'll limit the list to 10 since there's tons. Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Ezzard Charles, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Leonard, Archie Moore, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Sam Langford, Pernell Whitaker.
Instead of Pernel i would put Ray Leonard but generaly i agree with this list
You think too much of RJJ and Lewis. Both great fighters though.
Now lets get real.
Best featherweight of all time: Willie Pep
Best lightweight: Roberto Duran
Best super lightweight: Julio Cesar Chavez
Best middleweigh: Harry Grebb - Carlos Monzon. You pick.
Best super middleweight: Joe Calzaghe
Just to name a few non blacks.

???? The thread is about the best Black boxers of all time.
I think Micheal Spinks is one fighter that should be on that list. He's never given the credit he deserves.
