Jack Johnson on Wrestling

Before the great Jack Johnson defeated Tommy Burns to become the World Heavyweight boxing champion he spent some time as a wrestler. The man was a very tough fighter as you can imagine. However Johnson has been quoted to say that he gave up wrestling because boxing was much easier than meeting up with the brutes of wrestling.
