    Sorta like Fury today ducking out on the Wlad rematch and later turning down multi life changing purses to fight AJ, to instead fight Deyonce for peanuts and cereal box title.

    In such scenarios, have to figure they didn't fancy their chances and likely been intimidated with thoughts of losing and the shame of public derision that follows losing.
    You are still a total halfwit. No one should think otherwise for a second.

      Holmes reign began the mess we have with boxing today. The boxing commissions were terribly splintered each, it seemed, to want to have as many champions as possible so they could milk for sanctioning $.

      As per Fleischer in his book “50 years at Ringside” the REAL reason Jeffries retired was the rise of the great black heavyweights Johnson, Langford, Jeanette and McVey.

      Dempsey took his title “on the road” following the heavyweight champions before him. They all fought exhibition, appeared in plays, vaudeville etc and for Dempsey this included the new media of motion pictures. Excluding Burns Dempseys level of ring activity in terms of championship bouts as champion was similar or better than those before him.

          You put REAL in all caps because you're just saying that Fleischer believed that is why Jeffries retired, or are you saying that you agree with Fleischer racist clap trap?

            Fleicher was no racist. Period. He actively pushed and pushed hard to allow black heavyweights to fight for the title.

            Fleischer used the phrase REAL REASON. I have no reason to believe he was wrong or lying. He knew that time period better than anyone today by a very long stretch.

              I am suggesting his racism is against white fighters.

              Who cares what one man says. You discredit a great champion like Jeffries based on the opinion of one old man who would say anything for attention. Shame on you.
