乔甘斯天性谦和开朗,世界冠军鲍勃费茨西蒙斯教会了他忍耐,因为鲍勃主张己所不欲,勿施于人。后来,甘斯学会了对于种种恶意挑衅漠然视之,就算有对手戏谑他是133磅的黑肥肉,就算在拳击场角斗时对手向他脸上啐唾沫,他也绝不动怒。
Like other black boxers, Gans was exploited by the low-life types that inhabitedprofessional boxing. Promoters paid him less than his white rivals, even when he was themain draw. His sleazy manager, Al Herford, bet heavily against Gans in two fights and thenordered him to lose. Gans eventually sacked his manager, confessed to the fixed fights, woninternational recognition as a fine champion and was mourned by thousands, white andblack, at his funeral in Baltimore, when he died from tuberculosis at the then typically earlyage of 35.
和其他黑人拳击手一样,甘斯也要遭到职业拳击行业里手段卑鄙的剥削。虽然双方打平,赞助商付给甘斯的酬劳却比付给他白人对手的要少。他下作的经纪人阿尔赫福德下了大注赌乔甘斯输,于是他便命令乔甘斯必须输。甘斯最后解雇了他的经纪人,并向公众坦承自己操纵了比赛,甘斯因此赢得了全世界的肯定,成了人们心目中最受尊敬的冠军。但是甘斯却在35岁是因罹患肺结核而英年早逝,在他巴尔迪摩的丧礼上,成千上万的粉丝,无论白人黑人全部为其默哀。
