I think it would have been really interesting to go back around 100 years and watch jack Johnson become the first ever black heavyweight champion of the world he won it in Sydney Australia against Tommy Burns either that or the original fight of the century against former champ James Jeffries. The discrimination Johnson took throughout his life was amazing. My favourite sports book is unforgivable blackness which describes in great depth how much hatred there was towards African Americans in the deep south. It's amazing Johnson avoided lynching in view of his lifestyle choices.

Good shout.
