Except he died some 50 years before this stuff was made.
The producers decided to make Jim J. Jeffries
some type of rube uneducated ignorant red neck type,
when in fact Jeffries was probably more well read
then Jack Johnson.The difference was
that Jeffries never put on airs.
Ha. Hahahaha. You cannot be serious.
share Dang straight Im serious.
I bet you didnt know that Jim J. Jeffries had spent a year
at buisness school in Los Angeles(his hometown) before he became a professional boxer,
did you?
Thats because Ken Burns decided to suppress this info in the documentery.
[deleted]
He was a great fighter and champion in his own right-nearly as great as Johnson.
shareOf course pissant Burns is clueless when it comes to boxing.
The "boxing experts" Burns pressented were a farce.
Total incompetence.
