Why Doesnt Jack Johnson Get The Props That Muhammad Ali Gets?

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

i already know some of the corny reasons why.

but dammit man.

the stuff that Ali gets props for dealing with is nothing compared to jack johnson. even Ali fell back and said he aint got nothin on jack johnson, and i believe he called him the greatest in that same clip(that clip prolly is not in the doc i posted tho).

and johnson was a big scary-lookin nicca knockin cats out left & right with ease.

Ali was an insanely charismatic personality, a global one at that. He was in a position to inspire far more people than Jack Johnson. That in itself doesn't diminish what Jack Johnson achieved.

Ali was born 4 years after Johnson died. Ali became a figure at the dawn of popular culture. Don't really get what's hard to understand about that.

Ali only became popular in a good way after them folks bought his namesake.......

Before then, he was a popular villain just like Jack Johnson was

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Liston knocks out Johnson.

JJ was 100 yrs ago and there was no tv

 

[Detroit Wave]

He was a c00n with an ugly cac wife

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Well he was around a long ass time ago, not as much footage of him, plus Ali became a global icon in a way JJ didn't.

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

Because real boxing fans know he was afraid of Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Harry Wills and Sam McVey during his title ship

Johnson did shyt to piss off the white man subtly, Ali was a notch below Adrien Broner with his c00nin ways

jack johnson might have been the OG "makin white folks mad" athlete with all his pawgin around the turn of the century.
