Jack Johnson by KO. He was too good for any fighter from his era and way better than anyone that came before him.

You have to remember that Jackson fought under the bare knuckle rules and Johnson with gloves or at least mostly during their careers. In a bare knuckle fight I give the edge to Jackson because it's an entirely different way of fighting. With gloves and for 45 rounds, I think Johnson is far too skilled and too clever for Jackson and would wear him down and knock him out in 20 rounds.

gman--You have to remember at the time Jackson fought Jeffries and Jeffords he was about 38 (?) yrs. old. For approx. 5-6 yrs. he had stopped training and had become a very heavy drinker.( had become discouraged and disillusioned with not getting title bouts.) He was a mere shell of hisself.
I slightly favor Jackson in this bout ( he took more chances in opening foes up, where Johnson was more reserved.) Jackson was noted for being very quick and a superb boxer-puncher.
Jackson and Jim Corbett went 61 rds. together.( I personally consider Corbett a faster, slicker and more elusive boxer than Jack Johnson.)

both adult men fought 40 5-round bouts, Jackson fought a sixty one round marathon with James J. Corbett. Jackson change into somewhat the finished boxer of his era. He had a patended one-2, truly, his change into stated because the finished, because it change into no longer in basic terms quick, yet deadly, as Jackson carried one heckuva punch in both hand. He change into also an exceedingly sturdy boxer, sturdy mover, did not precisely stand and take an excellent style of punches, as he might want to slip and counter such as his personal. He also had an iron jaw in his best, before tuberculosis later ended both his occupation and his existence, regrettably. large fighter, John L. Sullivan overtly ducked him on racial grounds. Johnson change into an excellent defender to boot, better efficient than jackson for particular. He might want to slip, counter, block, parry, and lead with the finest of them, plus tie his guy up even as his opponent were given close. Johnson also had lightning-quickly palms and a especially sturdy punch, although i have self belief no longer as sturdy as Jackson's. If it were a 40 5 round strive against, I provide the side to Jackson, who might want to bypass over plenty, yet he;s land some sturdy images in there to boot, plus, Johnson's toughness change into really a question markafter about 20 rounds or so. If the strive against previous the twenty fifth round or so, I even ought to assert Jackson by ability of KO. If it change into basically 15 rounds, Johnsons wins a large decision on the playing cards.

Jackson lost to Jeffries and Jeffords. Johnson beat both of them. In his prime Jackson may have been a better fighter than the one that was KO'd by both Jeffries and Jeffords but I don't think so. I have Johnson knocking out Jackson in about 7 rounds.
