	'''Jack Johnson''', named by some historians as the single most important athlete in modern sports history, was the first black man to win the [[World Heavyweight Champion\|World Heavyweight Championship]]. It was not simply his skin color which shattered convention, but also Johnson's brash personality, his willingness to defy tradition and popular opinion to be his own man, and the combination of power and technique which he used to defeat an entire generation of the division's best that made him a figure of incredible historic significance during the early twentieth century.<br><br>		'''Jack Johnson''', named by some historians as the single most important athlete in modern sports history, was the first black man to win the [[World Heavyweight Champion\|World Heavyweight Championship]].

	While some of the bouts mentioned here appear to be clear double entries of the same fights, others could be verified by research of said Galveston newspaper - yet with different results and dates. The Ed Johnson fight, for example, turned out to have occurred in 1897 instead of 1902. There remains a possibility that some of these fights were fought around Dallas, as Johnson was also billed as being from that city.

	Boxing historian Adam J. Pollack has since done the research and has Johnson’s record going into his world title challenge vs Tommy Burns as 80 wins, 5 defeats, 15 draws and 7 no decisions (40 knockouts approximately).
	Johnson’s approximate complete record upon retirement was around 117 wins, 13 defeats, 17 draws and 7 no decisions with around 58 wins by knockout. A far cry from his current incomplete 68-11-10-4 boxrec record.
