Tile by Tony ,You seem to be missing the obvious. Jack Johnson was an exceptional Heavyweight Champion Hated by millions simply for being black. When White American could not beat Jack in the ring it fabricated a bogus charge of violating the Mann Act. Forcing Jack to leave the country or go to Jail. It was not until recently that President Trump pardoned him of this charge.

Here a fun fact:- Before Johnson fought ketchel they both agreed that, they would'nt throw hard punches so that they can fight for more rounds and make money, but ketchel betrayed johnson in the 12 round by throwing a hard right which johnson did'nt expect, johnson, furious, got up hit him with his right so hard that broke 5 teeths of ketchel, knocking him out 🥊🥊🥊

Just a way for ketchels team too rid johnson of the title they knew all along ketchel was going to try and con him you can clearly see johnson man handling him keeping him from going down , I could only imagine the sheer force johnson would have behind those shots to single handedly drop a man off 1 punch to the point they are no longer capable to fight let alone walk shows the true nature of his punches there isn't a heavyweight alive today or ever will be that I think would beat jack Johnson guys inside game was on another level for this era he was literally fighting for every black man and woman alive at that time.
@YuvrajSingh-cd7cu3 роки тому
@@Brawling_Style yea in the end ketchel did con johnson, actually ketchel knew that he didnt stood a chance against johnson becuz Johnson was more skilled than him and outweighed him by 35 pounds, but that agreement between johnson and ketchel was true becuz if u notice ketchel actually went down, but johnson kinda held him up so that the fight would continue, to back it up, u didn't see him doing that to any other fighter like Tommy burns, but no sht, johnson was the most OP boxer in that era.
@combatsportlover69193 роки тому
@@Brawling_Style His Inside game wasn't on another level FOR THIS ERA but in all eras. In my opinion this era had better inside fighting because refs weren't quick to break clinches. So fighters had to be able to fight in the clinch. What Johnson does is mostly a lost art today.

JJ the greatest of all time? Hardly, he never fought the top black fighters of his time, why did he duck them? Most of the wht fighters he fought were not true hwts. They were lt. heavies at best, Jefferies was legit, but way over the hill. And along comes Jess. The bully got bullied. Jess W easily handles Jack. Which clearly tells anyone that Jack could not handle a good big man, and Jess was considered mediocre! How could that be? And if you are going to say Jack was old and out of shape, bull. How did he go over 20 rounds in 100 plus degree heat if he was so out of shape and old. Fact, Jess was bigger, stronger, and a better fighter than Jack. And he was not intimidated. Fact is he beat Jack at his own game. If Jack was the greatest of all time he would have never lost to mediocre Jess W. This takes nothing away from Jess W win, he kicked Jacks ass. And was not the first to do so. Joe Cho. knocked out Jack earlier in his career. Joe was a Lt. Heavy. And knocked out Jack when he weighed only 175 pounds. A goat would never have let that happen. Jack good man, way over rated as a boxer.

Jack is probably one of the earliest Boxers that we still have on tape. My great grandfather was a tough Irishman who fought bareknuckle fights that would last until either your opponent gave up or was KO for more that 2 minutes. Fighting became a family tradition that was passed down from generation to generation. My grandfather changed his last name from "Milligan" to the english last name of 'Milliken' because the Irish Immigrants had it tough during the mid to late 1800's. Billy Milligan raised more hell than Jessie James and was one of the original members of the "Great Train Robbery" The pride & joy of the Milliken family was Kyle Milliken a Navy Veteran and part of Seal Team 3 for 2 years and a brother in Seal Team 6 that was involved in 46 combat missions including the raid and killing of Bin Laden . Kyle was awarded numerous medals & comendations but the Silver Cross & 4 Bronze Medals of Valor stand out the most. Kyle was a greater human being than a warrior & athlete! R.I.P.

If you could imagine yourself as a boxer, in that situation, and have this man actually laughing at you. Shit like that lands like a punch. You hit a fucking guy with your best shots then it goes into a clinch and you then give him all your dirty little shots too and he stands there and fucking laughs at you. It wasn't disrespecting his opponents more than it was a tool to make them aware of how little they affected him. Nowadays some boxers who consider themselves tough will get hit with a good shot then smile. Well this is the same as that smile but exaggerated to a point that would break an opponents will.

HDVICTORY ford - And you're a dann liar , look up his fighters you freaking nitwit . When the period before he became champion he had to wait wait & wait for a title shot therefore white guys wouldn't want any part of him so he four several dozen before and after he became champion - keep in mind also they fear and respected his power and only took the fight for the $$$ and Jess Willard and the 6'10 hillbilly was heavier and taller then Johnson you idiot !!!
@cozycool35054 роки тому
Why fight "all" the black fighters not ranked when they wouldn't bring big paydays & if and I do mean if he lost or draw he would never get a world title shot just to keep him down and out ( crooked racist bigoted white mans punishment) so you are wrong to a great point !!!

@gkj19924 роки тому
@@yourdedcat-qr7ln Choyniski was another underappreciated great. Yeah, he did instruct Johnson on some defensive tips, but Johnson like many, greatly admired Gans, and created a variant of his stance, and learned to place his punches to maximize damage without leaving openings. Gans was one of the innovators, but Johnson, Jack Blackburn(Joe Louis' trainer, and fought Gans a few times) and many others would emulate. Sadly, all these guys, and dozens of other great fighters will only be remembered by those who appreciate boxing history and what the greats really did for the sport.

@Ilyass Habbou actually black racism is popular now as white racism was in that era..we have come full circle years ago I was involved in civil rights for blacks..now someone needs to step up for white rights against general black racism against whitey.. MY point was racism against whites by blacks now is same mind set as white racist years ago..Twin racist of different skin color....boxing part is boxing today different people same goals... Tyson was a fan of Dempsey...Fury was fan of Tyson...if you watch Ketchel vs Johnson.....Conn vs Louis...Galento vs Louis...Sugar Ray Leonard.vs Mayweather......Mcgregor vs Mayweather...you can see wins for same reason... and losses for same reason...also watch Calzaghe fights....notice losers had chance to win- blew win because of not following up as finishers...prime example McGreagor vs..Diaz when Sean lost.....notice how losers let opportunity of win slide by...thanks for comment....if you are a black African American you know what I mean about black racism against whites at present.....Black Panthers went on street in Charlotte NC and preached kill all white men, women and children...no uproar actually not much news coverage....let white racists say we must kill all black women and children..And wow riots for sure..black racism against whites is acceptable by general racist population...sad vary sad...hate is hate no matter what mouth or mind it comes from
