To Maniac... Jack Johnson was the 1st black world champ. 2ndly When I wrestled, I was never over 170, never over 187 in life. I was 155 when I beat a 2 time Illinois State wrestling champion. He was 230, 75 lbs more than me. Getting into their head is important. It is not cheating. I'd tell people my great tangent (which I never would repeat unless I came back (after 5 years off)). What you need to know, is a fool ONLY uses his body. Kareem did that. I was much smaller and much less expierianced. Use the brain, get on the nerves, make him made, they'll make mistakes. People tried to do me that way too. I focus on what needs to be done, not emotion. If someone falls into emotion, they are weak. I am German, Native American, and African. Race does not make you tough... Not falling into tricks makes you tough.

I would have liked to see Ernie Shavers fight in the late 40s and thru the 1950s. His size and power (KO ratio is unreal) would have made him a Heavyweight champ in that era. But as fate would have it he fought during the Ali, Frazier, Foreman era (yikes).

Joe Frasier who toiled in the shadow of Muhammad Ali...put him into the 1940s and he would be a legend

As cheesey as it sounds, Tyson probably been an awesome contender in say the roman times. I mean could you imagine?
