@levizer it is most certainly confusing

this documentary was made before the internet was around/popular, so sometimes it was impossible to keep track of foreign fighters records like Johnson and Corbett and Fitzsimmons

if you check back to boxingrec every few months or so, occasionally for these older fighters in the early 20th century/late 19th century, another fight will appear on their records

apparently they still dont know every single fight that these fellas have had to this day haha!

You're right he knocks Dempsey for basically the same thing that Johnson did, but worships Johnson. He talks like Britain was racist free, hardly. And yes, after fighting Sam Langford once, Johnson wouldn't fight him again, Bert Sugar talks a lot about this. Dempsey's manager wouldn't let him fight Wills. Many of Dempsey's sparring partners were black including George Godfrey. The guy's a pseudo-historian at best. McGuigan is the only bright light here.

@dukedds so uh where did u get foreman would beat ANY VERSION OF LOUIS?Thats patently ridiculous,foreman couldnt even handle jimmy young[at his peak] and he dodged quarry.where do people like u get this silly shit??

Johnson, imho, is one of the most OVERATED heavyweights. He is a guy whose written exploits just dont jive with film records. He was a early 20th century version of John Ruiz. Block, Block, Hug, Laugh, Talk Shit, Punch once or twice, Shove, Talk shit again, Hug. That was Jack Johnson.

@superdave198 no expert ive read has ever agreed foreman would have beat louis,in fact i dont agree either.they are both obviously great boxers but joes skill set was simply to vast,not to mention extrordinary power and conditioning.george couldnt even handle tricky jimmy young,near his peak.trust me joe was much more treacherous than JIMMY YOUNG.joe hit harder than ANY man george ever faced....WITH BOTH HANDS.Louis knocks out a battered george inside 12 rounds.joe slipped and countered perfect

[dempsey981]

crazy,these guys have some fundamentels wrong,jeffrys was NOT 6 FOOT 6,for example.the harry wills thing was wrong too..the with the rug on is esp inaccurate.
