Like most fighters back in those days he started doing manual labor at a young age, I wouldn’t be surprised if being a dockworker contributed to his physique. What was really impressive about Jack Johnson was how brave he was, he got pulled over in Georgia and the cop said something like “it’s going to be a $50 fine.”, Johnson handed him $100 and told him “I’m coming back the same way.”.

Haha. It’s funny to me that the guy that called me a pro hater is the same dude who talks down on pretty much everyone and everything that’s not him/his.

If that story is true, that’s one of the most gangster things I’ve ever heard.
I do not care what anyone says on this.

I had heard the quote before but didn’t know it was him and when you consider the times…that was some Batman-Superman-Shaft-Pimp sized nuts to say that.

It’s true, pretty impressive as well considering his status in America as one of the most hated men and how things were back in those days. I think it’d be comparable to a white guy walking around Bogota, Colombia while counting stacks of $100 bills.

That is true but something else to remember is 100 years ago the opportunities for a career in Professional sports were VERY limited, even moreso for an African-American athlete, so even with a smaller population the talent “pool” for boxing was probably larger.
So yes, he trained hard, but he was also very likely one of those one-in-a-million specimens that probably could have excelled in almost any sport.
I’d heard the story of the traffic ticket also. He was probably the most interesting heavyweight champion.
