Talk:James J. Jeffries

message: Irishman? "The black"? Who wrote this, a stormfronter?
Not to mention the lack of any mentioning to his racism towards Jack Johnson. This article reeks of white pride, tbqh...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1001:B02B:29D8:21C0:D7ED:A0D5:D0BC (talk) 20:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I swear I came across this article and it reads like a white nationalist manifesto. The language, the lack of citations on so many paragraphs, the narrative. I wish someone who is more familiar with the history of this period in boxing would take a look at this. --Crazyketchupguy (talk) 16:54, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is the most racist article I've ever read

replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.194.64 (talk) 14:39, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
