	Jack Johnson & Muhammad Ali: A like But Definitely Different
		Here's all you need to know about Fleischer's all time ratings as he saw them through 1972, keeping in mind he was extremely biased towards the older fighters.
		Nat rated Johnson the greatest heavyweight of all-time, and he had Schmeling in the second five among the top ten.
		As a fighter, in all honesty his legendary status comes from Nat Fleischer's hero worship and victories over a middleweight champion and a great heavyweight champion who hadn't fought in six years.

		Fleischer had left the Sun-Press to found The Ring, the self-proclaimed Bible of Boxing; impressed by Weston's flair with a rake, he hired the kid as an office boy in 1937.

		Nat Fleischer, Dempsey's biographer, always defended him on the slacker charge but conceded in later years that many boxers had ducked World War I. "They considered a bayonet a poor substitute for the padded glove and were loath to risk life and limb in a quarrel without gate receipts," said the candid Fleischer.

		But Jeanette, Langford and McVey never had a chance to compete for the Heavyweight Championship of the World, due to the color line drawn by white boxers and Johnson's own refusal after winning the title to fight other African-Americans.
