John J. GrilloI agree that Jack Johnson commands a premium in this set and the prices realized for black boxers do well against their white counterparts, but with one exception. Abe Attell should be weighted second only to Jack Johnson. Besides being involved in the Black Sox scandal...for a time Abe Attell was noted as "pound for pound" the best boxer in the world...he was a darn great fighter in his own right, and while Jeanette, et al were great fighters, they were not quite near the caliber of Attell in my opinion.
Johnson - 5
Attell - 2.5 or 3.0
Jeanette 2.0
