Sullivan challenged all contenders, "first come - first served." But there was one condition. "I will not fight a negro," he declared. "I never have and never will." True to his word, John L. never did.       And so the heavyweight crown, like the Presidency of the United States, was off limits to blacks - another betrayal of the American Dream.       Boxing's color line, however, was not the result of one man. It was established because whites, many whites, feared the possible result of an interracial bout.       While whites believed that their champion would beat a black contender, they still worried that something could go wrong - perhaps a lucky punch. And should a black man win the title, other blacks might then become uppity and difficult to control. An absolute must read, for ANYONE interested in BOXING and/or The struggle this one extraordinary athlete endured due to the color of his skin.!!!  With cat-like precision and skill, Johnson overwhelmed opponents. By doing this, he made a mockery of any theories about black inferiority. So much so that it became easier for white racists to hate Jack Johnson than to explain him, a fact made all too clear by their countless plots to dethrone and destroy him after he won the heavyweight crown.       And yet, this hatred did not stem simply from his being the first black champion. What worsened matters was Johnson's character and antics outside the ring. This fantastic book by: SAL FRADELLA Covers Jacks life story , from the beginnings, to his fighting career, marriage to white woman, and the unlimited lengths those that hated him would go to de- Throne him!
