What Do You Suppose...
Jack Johnson's opinion would have been on Muhammad Ali? The man and the boxer? Positive, negative?

I think he likely would've taken a fond interest in Ali because they were reminicent of one another in certain definite ways. Johnson would've seen Ali as a modern version of himself. He would've admired the qualities of Ali. His defiace,boldness,confidence,and obviously his personality and most of all,his extra-ordinary superhuman skills inside the ring.

He would've said he doesn't compare to Corbett and the greats of the past. Johnson was very jaded.

He probably should feel the way Goon outlines, but probably WOULD feel what you say here.King Carlos wrote:He would've said he doesn't compare to Corbett and the greats of the past. Johnson was very jaded.
