Did Jack Johnson participate in fixed fights?

[GhostofDempsey]

Johnson sold no autobiography to Fleischer he wrote a two page"confession" that he had taken a dive to Willard,Nat gave him a few bucks for it and put it in a drawer it was never published.
If you contest this name the book? If you are referring to Mes Combats,that was ghost written and thrice translated and has never been out of print in the UK I bought it in Foyles over 30 years ago.

It was ghost written because Johnson couldn't write, but those were his actual words from various interviews with him that were scribed into the book.

Johnson couldn't write?lol He regularly wrote articles to newspapers, where on earth did you get the idea he was illiterate? For every "quote in that book I can find you one that is not only primary sourced ,but one that directly rebuts it!

He was not a prolific writer, particularly not in two languages. There are no other legitimate sources on the web that claim what you are spouting about Mes Combats. It's his bio, no amount of your spinning and deflection changes that.

More Johnson character assassination . LOL

Got anything else to add? I made none of this stuff up and I do think its uncovered ground for a thread here. Who cares if you feelings are hurt because I reported what was said about your wife beating, free mason hero? No one that I am aware of. What is your opinion on the matter? Did Johnson participate in fixed fights or not? I submitted the evidence for you.

You said he couldn't write and that is a load of BS. He wrote pieces in the Ring for one example. The black newspaper The Freeman for another If you want to believe Mes Combats is a verbatim account of his fights ,fill your boots what do I care?
Just answer me this, do you really think he said Marvin Hart beat him? Do you think he said Langford knocked him down?
Have you actually read that book?
