It's entirely possible but I believe he did weigh in for the Thomas fight for which his weight is given as170lbs.
Ketchel was a muscular 5 '9",is it so hard to accept that , he not having to make the middleweight limit ,would come in heavier?
image.pngIf I told you the man in the photo was 170lbs,would you find it difficult to believe me?
My point was Z makes a huge song and dance about the weight disparity in this fight,but is totally silent when Jeffries smaller opponents are mentioned.
I have Carpentier's autobiography,I believe he was done in that fight.
I also think Sharkey took a dive against Carnera,that's the most theatrical ko I have ever seen.
Who actually beats Johnson at his absolute prime?

One thing I have come across more often due to chat gpt's analysis of uploaded books...
they pulled a lot of scammy crap back in the day and still do
In the era of newly emerging film it was really easy to do so
I got no proof but look how Fake Dempseys KO of Carpentier is. Carpentier wasn't winning but to me it looks like he could have went the distance. Same goes for Carnera and Sharkey. that knockout was so obviously fake. the mans legs were strong. You don't leap up with that much vigor after being iced, let alone twice in a row.Last edited by them_apples; 07-28-2025, 08:32 PM.Leave a comment:

Please show me in source where it lists Ketchel weighed in at 170 that was at the weigh in. It does not exist. There are none, in fact 160 is the highest listed weight in every fight before or after 1909 for Ketchel. So there you have it .
I have heard his true weight for the fight was 155 lbs. It is known that he wore cowboy boots to look taller and a coat to appear heavier next to Johnson.
Yet in the ring he looks thin and short next to Johnson. Exactly the type Johnson likes to hit and hold.
Are you saying Kecthel was one of Jack J's best five wins?Leave a comment:

You still got my name in your mouth, can't let it go. Even have to resort to alts and trolling. I gave you a chance to have the last word but you couldn't let it rest. Pathetic.Leave a comment:

You are such a coward. You begged me for a truce on this thread and now you resort to childish alts and trolling. No wonder you were banned on both boxing forums.Leave a comment:

If you want to debate Jack Johnson's top five wins under the terms under the conditions I layed out with me, go for it . After all, it falls under this thread.
You may argue that because he beat Ketchel ( you claim a pre -arraignment fight ) means he would beat X heavyweight. This middle weight who wore cowboy boots to look taller and wore a tech coat to look heavier. That is if you list him Jack's top five wins. He floored Johsnon and reports say Johnson got up as was still dazed after the fight ended. New paper reports.
Your grandson can help you because you need it.

I stated in1905 Jeffries edges Johnson,I also stated, which you did not mention ,that prime for prime , Johnson beats the crap out of Jeffries,he would have had a lot more experience and be18lbs of muscle heavier.
No I don't want to debate with you,I confine myself to correcting your daily lies.
You fasten on Johnson beating a 170pounds Ketchel,but you never mention how much weight advantage Jeffries had over
Choynski . 57lbs
Fitz1. 39lbs
Corbett1. 30lbs
Finnegan . 60lbs
Baker . 26lbs
Griffin. 40lbs
Armstrong. 25lbs
Everett . 26lbs
Sharkey1 .20lbs
Corbett2. 27lbs
Fitz 2. 47 lbs
Sharkey2. 27lbs
If you're so hung up on Johnson's weight advantage over Ketchel,
why have you always ignored Jeffries weight advantages over those I've just posted?
Why are you going into unasked for detail about Ketchel, has anyone requested it?Last edited by Bronson66; 07-28-2025, 01:12 PM.Leave a comment:

I’m not even sure what he is trying to prove with his whole Johnson 5 best wins thing. Any pro who has at least 5 wins can garner opinions about which were the 5 best. If he disagrees, why doesn’t he post his own opinion of Johnson’s 5 best wins? On top of being a liar and a ducking coward, he honestly just doesn’t seem very bright.Leave a comment:

You're chick $#^t to engage in a debate with me.
Clearly you are unarmed and I say small brained for a debate with me. I would embarrass you.
You lie, and always seek an out which in this case you can not prove even though I listed the source.
Last chance to debate me. Otherwise skip my posts.
You couldn't win a debate with my 3 years old Grandson!
