Originally posted by Ivich View PostNot excuses but factors that must be taken into account.
Choynski fought Johnson in1901 Choynski had 69 fights Johnson11.
Choynski was probably just past his best, Johnson was certainly nowhere near prime Pollack states Johnson weighed in the the region of 168lbs for this fight.
Choynksi was a remarkable puncher.especially for his size, a trap setter like Fitz , he caught Johnson and stopped him, its that simple.
Johnson was stopped by Klon***e in1899.
George Siler, the great referee is credited with discovering Johnson, he was at the fight and said Johnson had been existing on the food at free lunch counters and hadn/ a thimbleful of victuals in him when he faced Klon***e.
Johnson did well early, dropping Klon***e but ,weakening under his body attack was finally overwhelmed.Klon***e was a leading black fighter no disgrace in losing to him.
Johnson drew with him a year later and stopped him in their last fight that year.
1901 Griffin 30 fights beat Johnson14 fights over 20 rds.Griffin deserved the dec by all accounts
Later that year they drew.
A year later they drew again.
1905 The Hart fight is so controversial I don't use it as any kind of yardstick George Siler called it," an exceedingly strange decision."
1915 Willard.Johnson was in front at the time of the ko ,Jack Welch stated if he was called upon to render a decision after 20 rounds he would have unhesitatingly have awarded it to Johnson.
Johnson was37 years old ,overweight and past his best, years of dissipation had robbed him of his stamina,and the circumstances of the fight the venue and the distance, 45rds were all geared to give the white man the advantage.
No way was Johnson going to be able to win a decision at the end of 45rdsand koing the giant cowboy was always a hard task.
These are not excuses they are just cold facts. From1905 until1915 Johnson never lost ,that's a ten year run during which period he was hounded and in exile on the run from the US authorities.
We might compare that with the fighters today ,and the reasons they trot out for losing?

No no, I told you where to find this one, and I was right ( again ) and you were wrong. Now there are other reports out the, moron. Read them. Burns didn't win a single round, right? Read more from the book. You will note that Burns looked yellow and sick to those at ringside.
When McAffertys book came out I suggested that anyone wishing to find out about Burns ,give this comic a miss and buy Pollacks exhaustively researched book which had tons of primary sources in it and direct contemporary quits McAffertys comic has neither! Now I've posted three ringside reports written by men who were there, that state Burns did not win a round and given the round 3 blow by blow analysis
What is supposed to happen now is you post 3 primary sourced reports that refute my post.
But of course you won't! Because there are NONE!
Keep the hysterical hate coming Mendoza, with every desperate new ploy you attempt you damn yourself further!
AND THAT'S JUST GREAT!Last edited by Ivich; 09-10-2022, 06:50 AM.

Originally posted by Ivich View PostOh I know where to find them, and I know who wrote it and I gave the book a really stinking review as did two others The author stated Burns defended his title against a Native American and a South African *** both statements are false,The author also stated Burns hurt Johnson so badly to the body he had to go to hospital after the fight! In fact Johnson went for a swim and that documented! The author is like Burns a Canadian he is also a hack and not a boxing man. Burns was not yellowe neither was he sick,you used to say he had jaundice but after being humiliated many times on that you;ve now moderated your tone!LOLTry reading the reporter known as the amateur on Burns vs Johnson. Yes, Burns has reports of a Jaundice. The book says so and so do experts such as Kevin Smith. Why do you lie so often? I listed Johnson's known fights for you. Count them up and take note Johnson lost an early one to a man who weighed between 135 and 145 pounds! Needless to say he had far more experience the 14 fights and was fighting since 1894!
Do the Masons know you lie so much?

So it was t stopped becuse it was a one sided Massacre? Like I said, you're an idiot. Why would the cops stop the fight because of yelling from under the ring if it was competitive? Geez, you get ******er and ******er by the day.

Tha cops stopped it because it was bordering on criminal the beating Johnson was giving him. They probably saved his life. I've heard Bur s was so grateful he sent this officers Christmas cards every year for the rest of his life.
Here the update via Wiki, and shhhhhhh, JJ did not throw the Willard fight. That was for soft lads like you to scarf up.- The fight was stopped by the police. Burns always claimed he could have continued had the police not intervened. Lightweight boxer Rudy Unholz later admitted to promoter Otto Floto that he and a pal had crawled under the ring prior to the fourteenth round and shouted for the police to stop the fight. Unholz worked Johnson's corner and had bet a large sum of money on Jack winning.

And the video shows Johnson pushing and beating him all about the ring. The commentary supports this and more. Poor little Tommy. Poor little Queenie.
