he was a ridiculously good boxer who beat every cracker who came his way, often over 40 rounds or more, and trolled the world by sleeping with and marrying white women for the lulz

He was dominant in his time. Which was bad considering he fought around 1910-1920, where he was looked at with suspicion by his white overlords, who didn't like him hanging about with their wimmen, so they framed him for rape and discredited him.

And I believe there was a movie about him. Ving Rhames was in it, which makes it automatically good.

ever seen Unforgivable Blackness? it s documentary narrated by Kieth David with Sam Jackson, James Earl Jones, and Alan Rickman doing voice work. Good stuff, but its 4 hours long.

he's the most overrated heavyweight in history. he ACIVTELY drew the color line to not risk his title against the best black fighters of the day like Sam Langford, Harry Wills, and Sam Mcvea. He was annihlated by a supermiddleweight Joe Chyonski and defended his title against bums. His selfish and irrresponsible actions set black atheltes back decades.

Fuck him.

I believe the movie was called "The Great White Hope" and starred James Earl Jones.

Goddammit, can we have a discussion about fighting without bringing Kimbo Slice into this?

well, he's a great musician who can play the guitar really well. he's not much of a good fighter. he even says it in one of his songs called "same girl". so ummmm, i guess he should just stick to music in my opinion...
