I'll tell you why. Because Griffin, like was mentioned, was like a famine survivor and Jeffries didn't want any part of Jack Johnson. He also didn't want any part of Mcvea.
Johnson already agreed with McIntosh period. He had already announced the fight publicly and it was nearly complete until McIntosh, not Johnson, pulled the plug. Just like you stated. I'm happy we agree here.
No one in their right mind faults Johnson for not sharing 6000 pounds with Langford when he can make much more as champion. Why wouldn't Jeffries take what he accepted to fight Griffin to fight Johnson or McVea? You can't have it both ways. Your rules don't seem to apply to your idol for some reason.
What "extra" demands are you talking about. As I've already stated, the forfeits were to be posted with Al Tierney, which was nothing out of the ordinary since this had been done time and time again. If McIntosh wanted to play games and try to post the forfeits to a newspaper in Australia then that's on him, because he knew months in advance that the forfeits were to be posted to Al Tierney.
You are like a broken record. Wherever you copy and pasted your info. from, I don't think you realize that you copy and pasted it twice

Pull out any quotes that you want. I'll pull out the quote where he admit that he could never beat Johnson. You also talked up Langford picking Jeffries to win. Do yo want me to pull up the quotations of Langford saying Jeffries was just as fast and fit as he was in his prime, and Johnson treating him like a baby in the ring?
Johnson not only fought all of the men mentioned, but agreed to fight them again as champion. We can't say the same for Jeffries, who blatantly ducked them and had to be bulled by white racists to finally fight Johnson, where the asswhoopin that he knew he would get was delivered.
