Highthief - since you know who George Godfrey is I must assume you know something about boxing...
If you have to make a call, on what you know: do you think a mid 20's John L Sullivan, if challenged to go down into a cellar of a bar by a black fighter of his time (Jackson, Godfrey, etc) and one one man comes outon his feet - do you think John L would have been yellow?7
Answer honestly. I dont deny the guy was a drunk, a hooligan, a racist... but it seems to me ridiculous to call him a coward. John L was not the kind of man to back down to the face of any man.
