He did get John L Sullivan and James Jeffries to kiss and make up, surely that must count for something.
Nice point of view but Ali should not be put in the same category with Johnson. Johnson was convicted because of blatant racism and biggotry. Ali refused to fight for his country when they called. I don't care what you're ideological views are. Country first, not self. Ali put himself before his country. While I respect everything he did as a boxer, I did not have as much respect for the man himself.

Johnson is a travisty that needs to be reversed.
