Large 1922 posed action photograph of the most influential boxer of all time, Jack Johnson as he sparred with Floyd Johnson ahead of his next bout. Johnson was one of the first black athletes to achieve national stardom and he was both loved and despised making him a polarizing figure to the extreme. While the offered image is a restrike from about 1959, it presents well and grades almost perfect.
