RE: Jack Johnson ..... The Philosophy of not giving a F*** what People Think!
This is an amazing story. A current fighter his boxing style reminds me of is Deontay Wilder. I remember first watching the Jack Johnson story on PBS as a boy. This was a great breakdown of his story and I can't wait to read more of your biographies.
Thanks alot. I've not seen Deontay fight if Im honest but I expect he will get a shot at Joshua at some point so look forward to seeing your comparison. Jack Johnson was certainly one of a kind though. Thanks for reading :)
Yeah that will be an amazing fight. Joshua's last fight was one for the box history books.
I agree , boxing is having a revival as of late and the Heavyweight division has alot of depth and talent to it now.
Like I said: I'm truly inspired by the information that you have brought to our attentions in regards to this unsung hero that we know so little about. And sure, there's some (I repeat some) talent in boxing now, but I believe back then those guys would've kicked most of today's boxers asses. You see, back then it was all about pure-d-skill. I think today it's more so about money...the way it seems to be in every other mainstream sport. Remember the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight? Prime example.
Money takes the spirit out of everything , boxing, music, sport, movies, art are all areas of human endeavour corrupted by the sinister influence of financial reward replacing spiritual reward.
