Jack Johnson (boxer) assessed by Sam Langford

 

'I tell you that Jack Johnson was so big, so strong, so clever. He had everything, he was never hurt, never had a black eye, or a cut, never broke a hand, and he beat the best in the world. I call that considerable doing. He was never even tired in a fight. He just fought his own way, went about it in a business-like way and made the other fellow look foolish. Hit? Yes sir! I never hit the floor harder in my life than the night he hit me. I thought I'd go right through the floor of the ring.'


- Sam Langford
