What we are brought up to believe in one era might not be considered the truth in the next era.

And theres no way the "whole world" was racist back then either, not even the whole of america. its just areas,but they were the areas with the upper hand back then.
Probably a good thing for him though as someone would have lamped him out a long time ago if he had fought all comers. all the more reason for him to stick with it.Last edited by DreamFighter; 05-12-2019, 12:41 AM.

Why wasn't there a Back Heavyweight champion until Johnson... when no other live opponents of any color were present? His greatest win was against a guy who'd been retired years before and had to cut down from 300 pounds.
