I've been seeing quite alot about this guy recently. The PBS doc, magazine articles, ESPNClassic. I think I even saw a movie based on him with James Earl Jones. Which along with Conan Sunday made him look like a BAD mothafucka when he was younger. Why now? Is it some kind of anniversary?

Anway from what I read he was badass. A boxer that wore gold teeth and fancy clothes. Rode fancy cars and fucked white broads back when niggas was getting lynched like it was a sport. And basically demolished the Great White Hope.

The country HATED him. Like an OOOOLD school TO.



PS. Since I'm on the subject ESPNClassic slaughters ESPN in it's current format. Stu Scott? Sean Salisbury? All the people on that horn show. Tony motherfukking Reali? Who are these douchebags?
