Jack Johnson - The first black heavyweight boxer

Muhammed Ali named him as an important inspiration in his life. I just rented a film about his life.

Even the wiki itself is interesting reading.

Very interesting sounding guy

The boxing matches on TV never seem to match the impressiveness of reading about boxers from before

I did an image search on Jack Johnson's first wife:

I didn't even know a website like "Find a grave" existed.
