Asterisk in boxing history?

Im reading about how basically in the post-Johnson to pre-Louis era in the heavyweight division black fighters were not allowed to fight for the title. Should all the fistic achievement of that time carry an astrick because of the omission of black fighters who were probably good enough and never got a shot.

BQ1: Dempsey v Harry Willis? (who wins)
BQ2: Tunny v. George Godfrey? (who wins)
If you are wondering these are 2 elite blacks during these guys reign who never got a shot due to color.
