Any one knows John L Sullivan's real boxing record????

I wrote out a big response to this and of course it got messed up last night and did not send.

Basically if you call Sullivan a piece of ****, then you must say the same for a major chunk of the american population at the time. Times were so different and racism was rampant and considered an acceptable philosophy by many. Doesn't mean it was ever right, but it doesn't make everyone who bought into it an evil piece of ****, just impressionable (as most people are) and ignorant (ditto).
