Upon signing Willie Henry in December 1926, manager Pat Elzey decribed Henry as "the hardest hitter and the most sensational fighter the South has ever turned out, regardless of color. He is a better fighter today than Jack Johnson was with the same experience. He is the same boring-in type of fighter as Jack Dempsey. And some of these days he will turn out to be a real top-notch champion."
