Nowhere does Smith say Johnson was held up by the ropes. He said “through the ropes and damn near out of the Seal Rock theater.” You are either making up false outcomes again or still struggling with reading comprehension. Either way you are petty and dishonest.

    You posted 20 paragraphs and still ducked my questions.

    Why did you say Johnson struggled with Battling Jim…where is your primary source?

    I don’t need a source to tell me McVey was competitive with Johnson, I’ve explained it to your stubborn ass over and over. Go back and read my responses. A 19 year old with only three fights goes twenty rounds with prime Johnson. The champion Burns couldn’t even do that. McVey was more competitive than the no-hopers who Johnson gave title shots to.

    I named fighters who I believe would best Johnson. Based on their respective skills, ability, resumes, fighting style, and Johnson’s avoidance of tougher challenges while champion. Not every opinion needs to be quantified with a 20 paragraph long-winded rant. Especially when you are repeating yourself like a broken record and moving goal posts.
    You based your picks on hatred of Johnson,that is palpably obvious.
    For example.
    Why do you think Loughran, basically a one handed left jab artist beats Johnson?
    Why do you think Gibbons ,who could not win a decision over a rusty Dempsey beats Johnson?
    McVey was nearly 40lbs heavier than Burns and had a better chin,why don't you factor that in?

    McVey has several fights that were not recorded you know this but ignore it,because it doesnt fit into the narrative you want to project its just dishonest BS on your part.

    McVey is believed to have had 14 fights when he first fought Johnson.so where did you get the number 3 from?
    You made up the following lies about my posts
    You've claimed that I have bragged about Johnson beating.
    Kaufman
    Fitzsimmons

    When did I do that, produce the posts?

    You claim:
    "Little Burns lasted only 14 yet you tout his greatness." Which of my posts say this?​

    You ignore literally dozens of contemporary reports that state unequivocally , that McVey was totally and thoroughly out classed and beaten up in his three fights with Johnson,again because it directly contradicts your narrative.

    You outright refuse to answer questions about what you know about those fights?
    The answer is of course **** all!

    What reports you have read?

    How many rounds were credited to McVey?

    How many times was he knocked down?

    Because you are not interested in the truth,only in pursuing your hate agenda,not only are you lying to the forum,with your ridiculous assertions,but you are lying to yourself!


    You're not a poster on a boxing forum ,you're a propagandist for a hate campaign!
    Goebbels would have been proud of you!

      I think Loughran would be Johnson's best title opponent aside from Willard who knocked him out. Judging by the trouble O'brien who was listed at 162.5 lbs gave Johnson ( some felt O'brein was the better him in a 6 round fight ) ,a match would be interesting to see. I think Loughran is more durable than O'brein by a good amout.

      Gibbons is even better than Loughran.

      McVey was a teeneger and very in-expericed. Not even close to what he would become. Johnson won easily.

      Why don't you list Johnson's best 5 wins taking into consideration the ages, activity levels and working conditions of the fighters and we can debate them?

      I will say that Tommy Burns a 5'7" and 168 pounds of him, a super middle weight was his best win.

        Explain why left Jabber Loughran who couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag,beats Johnson ?

        At Middle Lhy and Hvy Loughran lost to:

        Maulers like Godoy and Riskox2,Sekyra,Levinsky

        Fringe contenders like *****x2,Bogash.

        Lhvy's like Delaney,Stribling x2

        Middles like Greb x3,McTigue,Smith

        Hvys like Schaaf x2 Carnera, Farr,Sharkey ,by tko

        Yet he beats Johnson?

        Since he isn't knocking Johnson out he must out box him,correct?

        Which of those who beat him is a better boxer than Johnson?

        NB Johnson struggled with broken arm ,not with Battling Jim!

          You don't get to make any more demands here until you address that. Take your lumps like a man, coward


          Those are not my words. I posted the details for a book and magazine. Do you own that issue of Boxing Illustrated? Well, do you? And I was not talking to you . So...

            Loughran was stopped by Sharkey who ,in 53 fights only managed to stop 13 men.
            Are you sitting on a cushion because Travestyny has just ripped your arse out! lol

            I couldn't give a **** what you consider Johnson's best win.I'd get more sense out of my 3 years old Grandson!

                You're really triggered, LOL. You quoted me three times this morning. You still haven't answered my question...why did you say Johnson struggled with Battling Jim? What was your primary source?

                Where did Johnson land when he went THROUGH the ropes after Smith checked his chin? Smith specifically says THROUGH the ropes.

                I have told you several times, I don't care about how many rounds McVey won, don't care about how many times he was knocked down, or the anonymous reports you read. I do know that a fighter who is 19 years old, has only 3 pro fights, and goes 20 rounds with the so-called best HW of his era is competitive. He lasted longer than Burns who was champion and several other white no-hopers Johnson cherry-picked. Now if only Johnson has the courage and integrity to give McVey a shot in his prime.

                Loughran and Gibbons were more skilled and fought and defeated better opposition. That's a no-brainer, even for an intellectually challenged and dishonest pug like you.

                  No, after shrinking away from numerous points I made in the past, you finally replied to one. You were due someday. Cong****. But the quote comes from Boxing Illustrated. Reading matters.


                  By the way, how are things in New York city along with the mayor's race?​

                    The reports were not anonymous I gave the newspapers and the dates they posted the reports
                    Lie no1 from you.
                    Why do you keep saying Mcvey had only3 fights when you know it is not true? Lie no 2 from you.

                    I gave a list of 2nd raters that beat Loughran and asked were they more skilled than Johnson?No reply.

                    You refused to admit I didnt post here Thursday night,either drunk or sober.No reply.

                    I asked you to produce a post of mine in which I brag aboutJohnson beating Kaufman and Fitzsimmons.No reply.

                    Likewise ,I asked to to repost my post in which I bigged up Burns.No reply.


                    Bye Goebbels!

                      You’re obviously content to lie and deflect and run this in circles. You’re so fearful of being wrong you have resorted to behaving like a petulant teenager.

                      Johnson cherry picked his way through his prime. Loughran did not. Easy work here.

                      You refuse to answer my questions and I am not wasting any time searching through all of your alts just so you can meltdown again like when I caught you saying Johnson struggled with Battling Jim yet you wagged your crooked finger at me when I said the same thing and you insisted on a primary source. Where is your primary source? Why did you say Johnson struggled with him.
