John Arthur Johnson (March 31, 1878 – June 10, 1946), nicknamed the “Galveston Giant”, was an American boxer who, at the height of the Jim Crow era, became the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion (1908–1915). Widely regarded as one of the most influential boxers of all time, his 1910 fight against James J. Jeffries was dubbed the “fight of the century”. According to filmmaker Ken Burns, “for more than thirteen years, Jack Johnson was the most famous and the most notorious African-American on Earth” Transcending boxing, he became part of the culture and history of the racism in the United States.

Do you think if it hadn't been for the racism, he could have held the title longer ?

Great all timer. Jeffries should have never fought him. Well past his prime. Jack was a legend treated badly
And fair play to Tommy burns for giving jack his chance
Kudos to Joe Choynski for his generosity in training Jack Johnson when both were jailed–passing on hard-won knowledge to a man who would become one of the great defensive boxers of all time.
Choinsky toured with Peter Jackson . And fought countless exhibition rounds with Jackson. Choinsky passed on that skillset in those 30 days in that jail cell to Johnson that changed boxing forever. That's where Robinson,Louis, Ali Willie pep Tyson and many still. That's where that skillset was born.
Unfortunately he wasn’t as great of a human being as he was a fighter.
To this day JJ was overrated. While it looked like he had a real gift. Most of his fights were against middle weights, and light heavies of his time. Of course, he looked good, what good hwt wouldn't? He also never fought any blk fighters after he became champ. Why? Maybe there wouldn't have been enough interest, no money, who knows. It just didn't happen. And look what did happen when he fought a mediocre hwt his own size in Jess W. He got his ass kicked. When Jess took him out the myth was destroyed. JJ could not handle a big strong man. As long as the smaller fighters were handed to him, no issue. What would have been the outcome if the top blk fighters would have been able to fight him? His reign would not have lasted, maybe. In any case a lot rode on the fact he was the first blk hwt and a pioneer for those to come.
He was ahead of is time
Jack Johnson was really good and would beat any heavyweight of this era
Hes good but he aint the best, i doub the can be people like fury, ali, or mike tyson
my only critique of this video is that there much more video of jack johnson and more should have been shown in lieu of the cartoons.
He didn't fight Barbados Joe did he?
Jack Johnson is the best….

A fight between a prime Johnson and a prime Fitzsimmons would've been amazing!! It would've gone a lot different than the 1907 match imo.
There is no doubt that Jack Johnson was one of the "best evers" of Heavyweight Champions. Jack fought and beat some boxing legends in his time "before" he became the Heavyweight Champion. After he became Champ, he defended his title against some good fighters, the best of the lot being a "over-the-hill" Jim Jeffries in 1910. In 1914, age, the extreme heat, and a young strong, big (6'6") Jess Williard would defeat Jack in a title bout held in Havanna, Cuba. Hot as hell, at ringside in a open air arena at 100+dgrees. Even under these brutal fight conditions, Jess would not stop Jack until the 23rd round, if memory serves. For the first 15-rounds, Jack laid a whooping on Big Jess. Had the fight been a modern time title bout at 15-rounds, Jack would have won easily. Jess outlasted Jack under that heat and those long 23-rounds. Jack took a strong right from Jess in round 23, of a scheduled 45-round match, and went down. Mainly from exhaustion, than the punch, and was counted out, shading his eyes, as the ref counted him out. What fighter today would fight a 45-round fight, with a ringside temperature of over 100, and at 36-years of age? Those fighters of that time period, early 1900's, were much tougher physically than today's fighters. They could, and did, fight under adverse weather conditions in outdoor arenas, combined with a long round total. Oh yeah, Jack's defensive capabilities, boxing savvy, and intelligence put him in the top 10 heavyweights of all time easily. One blemish on Jack's career was that he "never" gave the best fighters at the time a crack at this title. Before he became the Champ, he fought the likes of legendary Joe Jeanette, Sam McVea, and Sam Langford and beat them all, more than once, save Sam Langford. Only one time did he beat Sam Langford before ascending the throne. All three gave Jack all he could handle and were most definitely better fighters than the ones Jack defended his title against. None of these great black fighters got a chance at the Heavyweight Title held by another black man. Jack literally drew the infamous "color line" and would not fight any of these three great fighters. Jack did fight Battling Jim Johnson, a decent black fighter, in Paris, but Battling Jim was not on the level with the mentioned three. Sorry for the length here, and thanks for a well made video on a great Champ of the past!
Yep he fought his opponents and the United States government at the same time .
The guy jack Dempsey took out in 2 rounds knock out johnson in the 27 round Johnson won because all the fighters he fought were alot smaller then him and lighter
Actually, Johnson never fought Joe Walcott in their career, but they might sparred in an exhibition. Also, I feel like Jack Johnson stood 6'1" as he was half an inch taller than listed in boxrec or other sources and he nearly to the same height as Jeffries who stood 6'1 1/2".
When you fight everyone in front of you and 3/4’s of the American population at the time you are one bad cat . Johnson had the skill and the ⚽️ 🏀🏐🎾⚾️🥎🏉 to do both .
If he were still alive he would be 138 years old
