ZERO mention of how racist James Jeffries was. How typical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.111.130 (talk) 19:37, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this is quite a flawed article - Jeffries refused to fight Johnson for years because he was black. Also, it makes out Jeffries was in bad shape for the fight - he'd been training for almost a year for it, and was no where near 300lbs when he fought.
