damn, youtube has some GREAT classic boxing clips!!!!
also i think that was the only time johnson was ever knocked down? dunno for sure but if that was it, i remeber them saying that johnson knocked old boy out right after with the next punch and old boy lost a few teeth as well as slept for a few days straight without getting up. that was hard core.Comment

He made him his *****.
And I don't want to hear about age. Mercer was racking up constant 1 punch K.O.'s at the time, and we do know now......Wlad's chin is suspect.
Ass whoopin, because he's 10 times the figher Mercer ever was.

wasn't that guy that johnson ko'd, ko'd for a few days after that, that and lost some teeth.

that was one of the single greatest one punch ko's i've ever seen. as i remember reading, ketchel was "out" for something like 10 minutes or so.
his teeth, yes. his front teeth were broken off at the gumline as i recall - i have a mini library on jack johnson.
the ketchel/j johnson fight has some interesting stories behind it. one of them was the whole deal about jack johnson agreeing to carry ketchel through the fight instead of taking him out. at some point, stanley starts to feel as though he can actually take jack, as jack wasn't really laying it on. that's when ketchel catches jack by surprise. the rest is history - jack gets up and ices ketchel with that one punch.
jack has been down before, but he was known for having a great beard. jess willard, who got the title from jack, knocked him down and jack was counted out. this fight also has some unique storylines attached to it. jack claims that he was getting tired of boxing and had accepted a bribe of something like $125,000 if i recall correctly. i believe he latered claimed that he never even recieved the money. there's a bit more to it as well. some people, probably most, believe that jack was just getting older, and was not in shape for the fight which was in 100 degree heat in the middle of the day.
jack had also been down very early in his career when he fought joe choynski(sp?). the police broke into the scene at the time right as jack had been knocked down and arrested both of 'em for practicing pugilism. jack learned a great deal of tricks from choynski, who was known as a slick fighter, while in jail which helped him go onto become the legendary jack johnson we know of.Comment
