That's what we need more of African-American and white people coming together
Nice work buddy. I read Choynski taught Jack some defensive moves. Bless up 🥊
Brother,
Do you know how Choynski developed his punching power?
School was open Choynski was a shrewd guy and Johnson was his prize pupil .
Them spending time in the jail afterward was a legendary moment in history. That picture is iconic!
Hey 86👌🥊,Good to see Choynski getting a bit of a shout out, not many know about this solid fighter but most know Jack Johnson 👍
Choynski was one of the stars of boxing in the 1890s and he later opened a gym where he taught the sweet science. Considering he usually weighed below the light heavyweight limit he packed a helluva punch.
This time in jail with Joe Choynski was CRITICAL to Jack,s professional development. Joe had spent time years before with The Great Peter Jackson!
Choynski actually took a liking to Jack and I believe became his manager. ( not sure about that) But he did tell Jack, while behind bars, that " a man of your size and speed should never get hit with anything serious." ( not an exact quote) Joe was brought in to " wipe the smile of the arrogant negro." But the two legends became friends. Funny how trying to knock a man's head off leads to lifelong friendships.
Joe is a forgotten legend and in recent years, followers of Johnson have tried to claim it was a set up. Clearly it was not or Jack would have gotten revenge in jail. Whatever the truth, Johnson himself always credited Choynski. That is respect.
