Memphis Jack Johnson Rating 1 USA
HW 1965-76
5 wins / 16 losses / 3 draws / 5 KO
Hometown: Memphis, TN
Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto
Johnson was stopped in 14 of his 16 losses and won all 5 of his victories by knockout or TKO. So for him it was pretty much stop the opponent or be dropped.
Two of his very early wins were both 6th round TKO's over Memphis Al Jones and an Al Jones(17-12-3,6) from St. Louis, MO who was on the tail end of his career. A couple other later wins came against a Jimmy Gillespie(0-3-0) and his 5th win was against a Sylvester Murphy(2-4-0,1) both from Memphis. In his first two career bouts both were draws with the first being against Memphis Al.
Some of those who beat Jack were Ben Black, Ron Marsh, Tod Herring, Charles Williams, Orville Qualls, Jimmy Cross, Rodney Bobick, Johnny Boudreaux, Memphis Al, Bjorn Rudi, Flemming Jensen,and Marvin Camel whom we've all seen rated into the game.
