Top 10 Heavyweights of the 1890s

He fought ten times in the 1890s and won just the one fight ,against a 58years old man who had not fought for SEVEN YEARS! Mitchell could not last 3 rounds with Sullivan in the fight you refer to.He hung around in their previous fight,[ which was fought in the mud during a storm,] by dropping to the ground whenever Sullivan began to lather him.

 

NO DECISION BOUTS ARE JUST THAT BOUTS IN WHICH NO DECISION IS GIVEN. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND?

 

Mace was born on the 18th of April1831 which made him58 when he fought Mitchell , 2 months off of 59 ,30 years older than Mitchell.
There is no point continuing this ,you are obviously a cretin. I've provided you with Mitchell's details from Box Rec but you ignore them,you just can't be wrong can you?

 

Correct.

Hank Griffin, was a also a top black heavyweight in the 1890's. A big man for his time ( 6'1 " tall ), Griffin holds a bit win or two ,most notably over Jack Johnson and did it past his prime.

Harris Martin, A.K.A, The Black Pearl was a good black middle weigh top the time. He went four rounds with Fitz, lasting the distance.

I think an 1890's thread on the top black is long overdue.

 

Slavin was big man who could hit. Mitchell fought him in his prime. The quick conclusion is Mitchell had to have something to last the distance 4 times. The long conclusion would require research. Maybe Mitchell was the better in a match or two.

No Decision matches can cloud things, but they could be legal issues of the times where one man was better than the other but no decision was allowed to be given.

 

No they do not. Just go away ,you aren't playing with a full deck!l
Slavin and Mitchell met10 times in all.All of their encounters were just exhibitions source CBZ.

 

See CBZ for additional info.

 

I have one account and I'm 65..You have issues Pal , not the least of which is the mental one.

 

Usyk beats em all

 

Jul 22 , 1891 Frank "Paddy" Slavin EX
-Mitchell knocked Slavin around;

Looks like Mitchell was the better in this one.

 

These were EXHIBITIONS.. Mitchell employed Slavin for these. These were not fights but staged bs, unless Slavin was too drunk to perform.

 

Here's what happened when the employee showed up too drunk to do the show....

"A disgraceful scene took place at a boxing exhibition... Slavin, whoo rolled about hardy able to stand, jestingly said that Mitchell could not hit him in a hundred years. Mitchell, angered, knocked Slavin about the stage and finally among the audience. During the row Slavin fell several times, and Mitchell continued striking him even while he was on his knees trying to rise..."

These were staged exhibitions of the manly arts with Mitchell's father-in-law, Pony Moore, acting as manager and master of ceremonies. Mitchell and Slavin were noted to be "best friends" in several articles till the time of this Liverpool match. These were not bouts. If these are to be considered bout, we must include the multiple times Sullivan met Corbett after 1891 and the times Sullivan met Choynski, Sharkey and Jeffries.

 

You won't convince him, he inhabits a parallel universe .

 

Good idea,going to do it?
