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.

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