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?

You're not asking me, but based on the mans own words I say he wouldn't have fought a black fighter, but any answer is pure OPINION and well debating opinion is pointless as opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. Buit don't let facts get in your way SF, 6 pages of this thread and countless in the other 2 threads and all you've done is ignore facts.

Even as he repeated his challenge "to fight any man living," Sullivan refused to fight a black man. "I will not fight a Negro. I never have and I never shall," he declared.
