The balck men who Louis did not fight. Did he duck any of them?

[Dr Z]

Louis only fought two black opponents of his 26 title opponents.

They were John Henry Lewis, a man who could not see well ( that is being kind ) and would not be licensed to fight today. Mercifully it was over in round one.

And Joe Walcott, who was ahead by fair judges, knocked...

Corbett foused much on theater at his peak, and should have been more involved in boxing. This is true, but he is underrated in the sense that he had 35 known matches ( Box Rec is wrong ) and fought eight men who were in the hall of fame.

Wlad Sirenko vs. Andrii Novytskyi. Two undefeated men fight. This is rare and the winner may get the winner Usyk vs Dubois. It on the same card.

This is a what Jeffries said in detail.


“I lost my fight this afternoon because I did not have the snap of youth I used to have. I believed in my own heart that all the old-time dash was there, but when I started to execute, the speed and the youthful steam were lacking. The...

Ketchel is over rated on his own. This has been my opinion for oh about 25 years. We can post his known films on you tube and break him down as a fighter. Are we on?

This therad is not about Johnson Let's keep it that way....

[Dr Z]

You mean the guy out boxed by O'brien over 6 rounds, floored by Ketchel and told the press that he was still buzzed ( as the press reported this on thier own ) after the fight, and had a lucky draw vs. Journeyman Jim Johnson where 1 judge voted Jim the winner and the other two knew where the bread was...

>>> In his surving films Ketchel looks like a wide open limited figther with next to no footwork and no defense. He film is very disappointing. And his is Ketchel in his prime. His resume of wins major wins is rather thin.

Enough on Bronson. The man is no longer a board problem. He has been banned here before and other boards only to change poster names mulple times. I say let this curmudgeon be one his way and let him find peace, if he can....

Well the EU has its own flag and currency and is made up of many European nations. So... they are acting that way. Mostly they decide things in a non nation sense, relying on the mass of the EU to carry weight.

As such they are on one nation, not several. Germany is the real power...

Pryor is the type of fighter who will mow down the chinny or smaller men with ease especially if they lack defensive skill or like to trade with him. A mini pitbull like atack dog. In that sense he is a bit like Mike Tyson .

But he is far from a complete fighter and really there is not...

You are a comical guy. Who was the reporter? Funny how you latch on the nameless source. Don't you always ask to produce them? A prime Jeffries was much better than the 1910 washed up version. Again look at the dates and the results of the common opponents!


Sure Jeffries would have...

The MLB is the most selective. The N F L selects mostly very good people.

The N B A is lib eral in its selections. Boxing is very lib eral.

The story of James Jeffries offering Jack Johnson a fight in a bar refers to an incident around 1903 or 1904, when Johnson, the first African American Colored Heavyweight Champion, sought a title shot against Jeffries, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. According to historical accounts, Johnson...

He asked for it, but Jeffres said, " You would not draw files. " Instead he offered Johsnon a private fight on the spot. Johnson walked out.


Had Johnson takens his lumps, he could have misled the press al la Jack Munore and maybe that would have built up a purse that Jeffries...

The USA is 250 years old ( Hey, do not sell us short ) and #1 in the world in many important categories . Boxing is way down that list. PS: Thank you England for the lovely holiday in the summer.
