Are 3 and 4 round exhibitions now considered record worthy fights? Because, if so, Sullivan beat Corbett.

Again, you make no sense with your second statement. Are you referring to Choynski or Slavin as Polish? Do you have access to a more complete record which you would like to share?

 

Yes you're right ,he was.

 

Mace was 58 to Mitchell's 28

 

No, Mace as I said was FIFTY NINE YEARS OLD.

No Mace was 59years old and had not fought for 7 years! Mitchell was not competitive with Corbett at all he was swept of his feet and overwhelmed.
I've noticed a trend with you when you are pulled up on a statement and its proven to be incorrect you ignore the evidence that shows you are wrong and often get personal. eg You've ignored my correction that Michell only met Slavin 4 times and never beat him as they were No Decision fights.You've ignored the fact that Mitchell has just one victory in the decade 1890 to 1899 and that over a man nearing 60 who had not fought for 7 years! Why not just say," oh right I got that wrong ?"
We will all get things wrong from time to time.I did on this very thread proposing George Godfrey as a possible candidate,until Bit Player Vesti corrected me,which I acknowledged.You don't ,you get stroppy and defensive ,its really odd behaviour from an adult.I may be doing you an injustice,you could be having a bad couple of weeks.I hope I'm wrong with my first impressions of you.
ps There was zero demand for a second Corbett v Mitchell fight and if you had read the fight reports you wouldn't have suggested there was.

 

OK, so you're a troll. Great. Just what this place needs.

Mace, 30 years Mitchell's senoir, was "at the same stage"... That's where you push over the line a bit much.

Jackson was regarded by some as better than Sullivan, by even more as better than Corbett.... but he wasn't a good as Mitchell? OK.

 

Mace started in the 1840s.

 

Why?

 

Is English your 5th language or are just stone cold simple?

 

Do you really not know that the Slavin v Mitchell [2 l's] bouts were
NO DECISION AS IN NO DECISION WAS RENDERED THEY WERE NOT NWS ?

I'm beginning to think you are mentally deficient!

 

lil' Mitchel floored Sullivan and went many rounds with him in a different fight. He was something of a pound of pound talent.

Back then the name talents fought each other. We don;t see that very often today.

He fought 10 times that we know of in the 1890's, mostly name guys. I'm not saying he's top 5 for the decade, but you could argue top 15.

 

Mitchell was born on the 24th of November 1861. He fought Mace on the 7th of February 1890, which makes him 28 at the time!30 years younger than Mace!

 

I don't care what somebody claimed he fought Slavin 4 times and each one was a NO DECISION BOUT!
