Jack Johnson was giant among men in the jim crow era.........he had balls the size of texas........... loved the way he would flash that smile... Rip Jack.
th-cam.com/video/LwzsPtDUDCQ/w-d-xo.html that’s his documentary
probably the greatest boxer of all time in my view...
Wow this was an inspiring and refreshing documentary. I'm a 22 year old boxing fan. The first fight I ever saw was Roy Jones v Bernard Hopkins. Now I'm a huge fan of the likes of Andre Ward, Rigondeaux, Terrance Crawford, Erislandy Lara, Danny Jacobs, and Tevin Farmer. But something certainly must be done to tell the stories, carry the legacies, and reintroduce the plight and personalities of all these legendary champions - not just in boxing, but across all sports.
They are truly kings and pioneers in their own right, not just influencing sports, but breaking barriers and molding an environment which allows for the disenfranchised to have opportunity today.
We still have ways to go in making positive change in this world, but knowing the history of our pioneers can be an igniting catalyst that will inspire us to make the changes for tomorrow.
I will challenge myself to channel the resiliency of these legends and find my inner champion in all battles of my life and my community at large.
Thank you for sharing. God bless.
We 26 now time has gone quickly
@@moneytttt1140 you still have a lot of life to live. Make it count. Respect!🙏

Beautiful black fighters went through a lot but they were strong.They found ways to make things work.
Even though I am Mexican I have more favorite Black fighters than Mexican fighters my all time favorite Mexican fighters are Vicente Saldivar, Ruben Olivares, Salvador Sanchez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez. My all time favorite black fighters are Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones Jr, Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I also have to add Jack Johnson & Sam Langford, Charlie Burley, Lennox Lewis and Joe Frazier.
Jack Johnson was a beautiful man! That dude was awsome!
Over unlimited rounds with today's training and nutrition giving him more muscle due to those things over 20-30 rounds, his superior defensive style and awkwardness and stamina on his day would've ground down just about any heavyweight in history, as he was so hard to hit on the chin.
Duh, hes black lol
@@geoffJG1 aaaa
If you can, read Unforgivable Blackness, The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson....a brilliant read, dispells the myth that the cameras were turned off at the end of the Burns fight, there is footage in existence of Burns getting knocked out......well worth a read
It is also a great documentary
So were is this so called footage and why can't we see it? And we does the footage stop if it wasn't turned off? Why would they make up a lie that it the camera was turned off if it wasn't? Besides, maybe there was 2 cameras.
Check out Sam Langford the Boston tar baby.
One of the all time greats. Black as sin. Talked like a bumbling retarded demon. People though he was the actual devil. And I wouldn’t blame them.
@@mdh88 Its in the book the still frame showes Burns on the floor It was the movie camera that was cut off not the picture camera
Very good read
WALKER SMITH, JACK JOHNSON AND JOE LOUIS WERE GREAT CHAMPIONs...
Don’t forget Sam Langford
th-cam.com/video/LwzsPtDUDCQ/w-d-xo.html jack Johnson documentary
that check hook at start by robinson is a thing of beauty !
Lacklustre Canadian? Holy crap! Tommy's record for consecutive KOs in title defenses still stands today. These guys know nothing or ignore the truth.
He was super small for holding such a belt.
It’s ESPN what do you expect??? All ESPN cares about is the NBA & NFL not boxing.
I WANNA BE JUST LIKE JACK JOHNSON WHEN I GROW UP
Sam Langford also born in Wamouth Falls Nova Scotia. George Dixion born in Halifax (africville) Nova Scotia.
People who say it was a good informative documentary don't know their boxing well. Although it was quite good, it had some historical errors, like Joe Gans
What about Gans and the other historical events that were FALSE??
th-cam.com/video/LwzsPtDUDCQ/w-d-xo.html
The Sam Langford part made me cry
I just watch a min documentary on him
@@202_Reek damn shame he ended up alone in some barn.
@@202_Reek Dempsey didnt even wonna fight him
@@octoman_games yip Dempsey refused to fight him and Johnson redused to fight him when he became champion.Johnson did fight Langford earlier in his career and if I remember correctly Johnson did win but Langford musta made a good account of himself before Johnson didn’t want anymore.it’s a pity very few fights were on film back then cause that surely musta been some fight to watch.Langford wasn’t even a heavyweight
Or a true heavyweight should I say.just looked it up and he only stood at 5,61/2.
Black people have suffered a lot and still smile!
+Michael Cote Because we are warriors
Those who have suffered greatly learn to take adversity with a smile. Anyone who blows up is weak and soft inside. Also, black folks had to out of necessity to survive in those shitty times. Johnson made a point to let everyone know they couldn't touch him. Awesome guy, in and out of the ring
+Michael Cote stfu
+Shawn MC facts
+Michael Cote it a / a fact that there are twice as many white ppl on welfare than black... FACT
Imagine 15 year old Mike Tyson comming up to heavy weight in 1902😂
Langford what a man!
George Dixon, Halifax Nova Scotia Canada , Sam Langford Weymouth Nova Scotia Canada, George Byers , Charlottetown Prince Edward Island , Canada, George Godfrey , Charlottetown PEi Canada..these men had a tremendous impact on the United States boxing business..
Canada is a true fight nation in my opinion, they have had great boxers throughout history and are also making an impact in MMA thanks to the legendary Georges St-Pierre.
joe gans and panama joe gans are 2 different people. Error by espn
Agree 💯💯💯💯💯
Excellent documentary. I understand keeping it short meant you had to skip certain things. Great piece.
th-cam.com/video/LwzsPtDUDCQ/w-d-xo.html
my favorite documentary about boxing they introduce all my favorite fighters threw out history.
One of my favorite boxing documentarys thnx fo postin em
What a hell of a documentary this is great
Fantastic documentary I've watched it first time in 2001🎯🎯🎯🎯I know every single fighter mentioned in here😎✊🔥💥💣💯💯💯💯 and watched it a thousand time's and never get sick of it📹🎥📷
SAM LANGFORD GREATEST EVER!!!
"lackluster" - Tommy Burns? He gets "a couple of fights". This is clearly the opinion of Boxing idiots. Tommy Burns was the shortest Heavyweight in history at 5'8 and succesfully defended his title 11 times in 2 years, which was more than Jefferies did in his 6 years, or Johnson did in his 7 year reign. He was not by any means "lackluster"!!
StevieViscuso correction , sam Langford was only 5'7"
@@BenjaminEvans-gd3ms... and never a world heavy champ, only colored
@@sskspartan You said the shortest heavyweight in history, not the shortest heavyweight champion.
Burns was 5'7 also
another great documentary uploaded thanks again i have watch nearly all of your uploads and enjoy everyone
It also says that John Henry Lewis was his first defence. It wasn't. It was Tommy Farr. Everybody knows that. I had high hopes for this documentary, but it has been let down by conjecture made by people who can't seem to get basic facts right.
Really...he had 4 defenses before Lewis
Excellent documentary in spite of the errors eg panama joe gans . Very informative and the fight clips of excellent quality .
There were A lot of great Boxers they left out.
Peter Jackson is real champ
Peter Jackson worked at Killara Greengate Hotel & the fruit orchards nearby , in Sydney ,Australia and had his first pro fights in Bert Oldfield Park in Killara. You can visit these places today in 2019.
Very will written document. It way also be the easiest way to help people understand the many police beating/killing others.
Joe Johnson had to run to get a chance to fight for the title for eight years! What a huge will power he had. And him standing against all the haitred that was sent towards him just because he was black
This was Amazing! Thanks for posting.
thanks a lot man, really great docu.
Brilliant Doc.. narration, footage, history & continuity
The biggest guys in my high school were always from Ghana. I live in London.
This is one of my favorite documentaries, very informative
I love this channel. You got a new subscriber.
I”m sure it’s been pointed out that around 10:00 Gans is referred to as Panama Joe Gans, which was a different boxer.
I have a copy of a bio of Sam Langford. It was written by his granddaughter!
That Jack Johnson !!!
Great Documentary
i like Archie Moore's hat
Great Documentary
check sam langfords wikipedia document ..... it does say he was heavyweight champion.... and check his eight ... burns is not the shortest ..
Does anybody know who that person is standing beside Peter Jackson's grave??
It looks like Jim Corbett or Gene Tunney.
More likely Jim since they did fight
DAM I MISS ESPN CLASSICS
Pure Perfection!
U forgot murders row but this was still great👍👍
one word to describe this video... awesome!
This is a great documentary i'm happy I subbed
ive seen most of ur uploads..ty
Cheers!
Jack Johnson would not risk his title against other black fighters there by handing the title back to less worthy white fighters.
He fought and beat the best black fighters before he won the title he fought joe Jeannette 9 times Sam mcvey and Sam Langford
Well Jack Johnson when he was heavyweight champion back in the early nineteen hundreds even he said he wouldn't fight the African American boxers in that time the reason he said for that because a lot of those spiders Jack Johnson fought 20 30 40 times so they were way more of a threat by taking that championship belt from him rather than like a Tommy Burns there's was no threat with Tommy Burns...
As usual the white guy comes in the " Johnson wouldn't let black fighters have a shot " as a way to absolve Sullivan, Corbett, Jeffries and the rest of there racism, bollocks he beaten them all ,he was the dominant black hw ,it was about money ,where was the money coming from for a hw title fight between two black fighters ? What promoters where willing to put up the money ? You expect Johnson to put his title on the line for nothing ? It was about money bottom line
No turned it down because he wanted to punish whites. He fought black boxers all his life and beating whites while holding the title was a dream come true.
You had an incoming call Bro
I like Gerald Early.
Lately.
Great history here!
In this documentary, they keep mention so and so is the greatest fighter that ever lived, and then (again) so and so is the greatest fighter, so who in the hell is or was the greatest fighter ever, I wish that they make up their mind
Alan... 👈👺
Wish you'd mind your own fkn business.
Wonderful.
Wasn't no car Jack Johnson was driving in 1909 was going 90-100 mph, kkackers will tell a damn lie, car probably went 70 mph at best.
thank god......every one can fight for titles today...no excuses etc.
real world champs.....not just americans. some of the best are from england , ukerane ....its a level playing feild now....white black red or yellow
.................
………
Joe Gans put defense on the map.
The powers that be are evil! They couldn't stop human spirit.
18:10 just so I remember
I'm shocked these guys didn't claim that Joe Louis took a dive against Schmeling.
This is MINT✊🏾
blacks were ok by the American public and its boxing fraternity in the lower weight classes but the colour bar was mostly held up in the HW DIVISION then JACK JOHNSON chased TOMMY BURNS all over the world to finally get a shot at BURNS HW TITLE in Australia in 1908 / 12 / 26 to 1915 / 04 / 05 so he held the HW title for 6yrs 8 months
and even JACKSON JOHNSON a black fighter himself held onto the COLOUR BAR
Refusing to fight black fighters in a title defence
as the HW champion he flaunted and broke the whole rules regarding white America at the time a black HW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD AT THE TIME WAS A NO NO
But messing with white women was a no no off the scale he JOHNSON broke every rule in the book but didnt care he lived his life as he chose to and revaled in it
he traveled with white women even prostitutes and crossed county lines and the charge was transporting women across state lines with them so the American establishmene went after him 10 fold and they basically chased him out of the country and when he came back he had to fight WILLARD and lost
Now as we know the HW champion is meant to mean you are the baddest man on the planet ant the HW title is held in total esteem as JACK JOHNSON was a nightmare to the AMERICAN PUBLIC & THE AMERICAN ESTABLISHMENT
It took another 22 yrs for JOE LOIUS to get a HW title shot in 1937 against JIM BRADDOCK even then because JOHNSON had let a terrible black legacy or a black HW
JOE LOIUS was issued with the ultimate set of rules to paint a good image to the AMERICAN establishment and white America
NO WHITE WOMEN AS IN BEING PHOTOGRAPHED WITH THEM
NO EMOTIONS AFTER FIGHTS WINS OR STOPPAGGES
LOIUS HAD A MULTIPLE OR NAMES WHICH BASICALLY WERE DETRIMENTAL REGARDING HIS COLOUR
THE NAMES WERE THE
1 THE BLACK MENACE
2 THE DARK DESTROYER
3 THE GOLDEN PUMA
4 THE BROWN BOMBER WHICH STUCK WITH LOUIS HIS WHOLE BOXING CAREER AND IN LIFE
Even then JOE LOIUS may subconsiously held up the colour bar as in reaity the was no money in fighting black fighters in 25 successful defence JOE LOIUS only fought to black fighters JOHN LEWIS & JERSEY JOE WALCOT
but to be fair back in the day there wasnt big money to be earnt with 2 black fighters fighting each other ?
To be totally honest because of JACK JOHNOSON unwittingly
JOE LOIUS got shafted at the negotionating table to get a title shot at BRADDOCK
BRADDOCK got $300,000 purse and 10 % of the promoters net profits from promoting loius over the next 10 yrs
JOE LOUIS MADE 25 SUCCESSUL DEFENCES OVER NEARLY 12 YRS his promoter was a white man called MIKE JACOBS
Just as an example a boxing promoter can take a maximum of 33.3 % of a fighters purse now that was only JOE LOIUS
So from JOE LOIUS 1ST DENFENCE TO HIS Thommy Far the 10 yrs were up against Jersey Joe Walcot that was 23 successful defences JOE LOIUS netted
well i was going thru every JOE LOIUS FIGHT AND RING EARNING AS CHAMPION AND I GOT PISSED OFF HA HA
So i googled how much did JOE LOIUS MAKE it was so much easier it was $48 million so say $44 million as world champion for 10 yrs so his promoter would have got 33.3 % of that so say $14 million 652 thousand and ooo
BRADDOCK WOULD HAVE POCKETED ABOUT $1,465,200 IN 1O YRS from MIKE JACOBS SITTING ON HIS ARSE LOL
But as JOE LOIUS PLAYED THE RIGHT GAME HE PAVED THE WAY fFOR FUTURE BLACK HW CHAMPIONS OF ABOUT 80 WORLD HW CHAMPIONS ACROSS THE BOARD THERE HAVE BEEN SINCE JOE LOIUS 60 BLACK HW CHAMPIONS WITH ABOUT 16 BLACK LINEAR WORLD CHAMPIONS AND 4 WHITE LINEAR CHAMPIONS
so things have progressed an awful lot because of JOE LOUIS
Joe Gans was not Panama Joe Gans!
4:21 assignment
Peter Jackson👍
Respect to jack johnson
True
you mean the true American Indian fighter
2:40 define "freedom"-
John L who.he was afraid of that bad black man.
Tom, Not sam..........
Currently there are no American heavyweight champions.
But when you think about it and forget about weak chinned Tommy 'the Duke' Morrison, who briefly held one of those alphabet titles.
There hasn't been a real white American World Heavyweight Champion since Rocky Marciano retired in 1956.
Andy Ruiz & Deontay Wilder are the last American heavyweight champs.
WBO still counts as a world title, so technically speaking Tommy Morrison is the last white American to win a Heavyweight championship.
Even Marciano was not considered Nordic white but hey Italians got accepted anyways later on
not everyone ...
👍
source please?
Joe Louis' betrayal of Marshal Miles ,and his surrender of 10% of all his future purses to Bradock to get the fight with Bradock. LOUIS didn't deserve the match because he had just been knocked out by Max Schmelling,who should have gotten the fight. So,the country used Louis.Apparantly Louis' sense of principle ment nothing.And,Louis had the nerve to denigrate Ali who was , at least arguably , a better fighter and without question a far better man.
Louis was 7-0 after losing to schmeling and before Braddock...and how was Ali a better man than Joe Louis?
🤩💬> WoW 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👀❗ G-G.
Really tho "Shadow Boxing"
✊🏾
Is like baseball ⚾️, the world champions, there’s no such thing, they have never played with no one around the world, they always play against the US states, that be NY Yankees against the LA Dodgers, and whoever wins are consider the world’s champions, but how can that be??? They’ve never played like for instance the NY Yankees against Italy 🇮🇹, Germany 🇩🇪 etc etc, so they cannot be considered the world’s champion, now, boxing 🥊 is a totally different story, they fight with whoever is considered the best challenger around the world, so I wish that they stop saying that baseball ⚾️ are the world champions
But whoever wins the World Series IS the World Champion. Suck it.

Kinda crazy cuz they doin every black fighter like that nowadays again sad 🤦🏽♂️
shadow boxing...
We must train to fight properly to speak for "black." This is yet prevented, free speech tied to it, because the predicate acts delivery system method not only was not overcome by our founders; they have their identities self-valued stolen in our faces at the same time, as well. All flank, then swell. I teach you well box sings.... I tell you things....
Panama Joe Gans is not the great Joe Gans. These guys know nothing.
Floyd mayweather jr is the greatest of all time. NOT SUGAR RAY ROBINSON
Lmaoo sugar ray got his ass kicked by a one dimensional fighter NUFF SAID. Hes overrated.!!
Gtfoh. 49-0. Go take your feelings somewhere else
+Jamez Zusman *whispers in your ear* that shut him up
Hey kid, by your logic Marciano was the greatest, besting Floyd with a record of 50-0.. And we all know that isn't the case. Floyd is/was a coddled fighter who even payed out other boxers to take a dive--remember Victor Ortiz? Also, to communicate through the safety of hiding behind the internet in the rudely arrogant manner you do exposes a weakness about you. You're clearly compensating for your cowardice in the real world. I hope you respond to me.
Rocy marciano 50-0.?? lmaooo wtf....yea good story.
49-0 with a good resume. mayweather the GOAT
+Stephen Fields look man Floyd is too preoccupied with keeping an undefeated record he's become too spoiled rocky never worried about that he always fought to kill
alot of those matches were staged...sad

The swanky softball cytogenetically melt because dill canonically complete off a pleasant group. roomy, rural hygienic
The daffy protocol hooghly measure because jaguar concordingly name till a troubled gemini. superficial, juvenile timer
I am disappointed to not hear anything about Muhammad Ali (the greatest).
Tough shit.
This goes up to the mid 20th century. As bad as it was in the 60s did Ali have people not fighting him cause he was black?
