tbh tho i think hes only really a 'legend' coz he was the first black champion... as a boxer i didn't think he was anythign special, sure boxing was in its early form then, and has developed alot... but i dunno, just don't see anyhting about johnson...

Now tunney, he was a great and would of out out thought and out boxed JJ... tunney was one of boxings first inteligent boxers.. a thinker, i don't think he gets the credit he deserves sometimes coz of his style...
Actually alot of guys really studied what they were up to before Tunney,including Johnson,every one of those guys advanced the sport at their time
Johnsons footwork was light years ahead of what was happening at the time
tbh i could be way way off the mark coz i have seen very little of JJ, i would like to see more of him and some full fights to. Hate espn classic whe they showing old fights then skip rounds!
