We know how many fights he fought and who he fought ,and how he did against his opponents and lots of us have his biography,
Lots of us also have Jeffries and Fitzsimmons biography ,so we know quite a bit about him, for example his style, his power, his durability.There's a ton of material on Sharkey.

Don't assume everyone is as ignorant as yourself.That would be highly unlikely!
You are aware this is the history forum I suppose?
ie Historical fighters are discussed ,assessed, and matched with fighters from different eras?
Judging by some of your content I think perhaps you thought it was the Hysterical Forum.lol

Oh, you have a biography. I didn't know that. A biography is third hand information at best, fool. I come here to stomp halfwits. You are one. Got some little snippet of film and now you think you know something. You are a halfwit coming on here acting like you are a professor at the Princeton Institute For Advanced Study. This a boxing forum, you idiot. Nothing important passes here. If someone is wrong, big deal, correct and move on.

I don't go much for the argument stuff. I don't even take issue with those who do, lol. I will say this though. I think that many people can fall into the trap of beleiving that you can learn more about fighers and their relative capabilities from watching them perform on film alone than you can from reading the mountains of material observations recored by the experts who have seen and/or studiously researched the fighters and their contemporaries. Personally, I think that assertion is a red flag. Film has a place, naturally when building a body of knowledge about any subject, but as a Sola scriptura, deal...uh-uh. But as always, the **** do I know?
