Jack Johnson was a pioneer who made it possible for Joe Louis to become champion. But with that said, IMO Joe Louis was the better fighter.
-
@intentions666 Jack Johnson showed the world he was a man equal to any man and they hated him for that. I loved when he smiled and held conversations with the crowd when he man handled his opponents. classic.

"He was accepted because he wasn't screaming to the world that he was black and proud of it."
Think about what environment Jack Johnson was in. He was in an environment with thousands of white bigots screaming racial slurs at him, throwing bananas at him, trying to arrest him for dating certain women and lynching black people out of anger when he beat white opponents. What the hell was Johnson supposed to do? Apologize to the bigots and smile and bow as they called him unimaginable names?

They both endured a lot racism, but dealt with it in their own way.
