    HH ,of course you are correct. Charlie Mitchell of England @ about 160 fought and dropped the poweful great John L, who reviled Charlie.In 1888,they fought again in the rain to a draw in France. Sullivan despised
    the smaller arrogant Mitchell. In 1894 he antagonized James J Corbett . who proceeded to knock out Mitchell in the third round...
    A happy New Year to you and yours Henry....:good

    Same here Burt!

    To bad you didn't make the Ring 8 Christmas Party & Award Ceremonies on Sunday, December 19th, you would have really enjoyed it. I was the MC and I sat next to Joe Frazier for 5 hours. Emile Griffith, Vito Antuofermo, Juan LaPorte, Leon Spinks, Marvis Frazier and Iran Barkley were also their and I had the honor of introducing them all.

    Thanks, I have been getting a good laugh at your remarks on this forum, But maybe for the New Year, you can be a little nicer on how you write back to most of the people.

    I use to get into these debates all the time, But I did it with a little class. Don't get my wrong, a lot of the material you write, I do agree with, But it's the way you put it, that is a problem to most people.

    I am always asked by my fellow boxing historians, why I waste my time by coming on these forums, and I tell them that I don't consider it a waste of time when you can try to educate people in our sport, and from time to time, I do learn something too.

    To all my friends on this forum, have a Very Happy Year Year!

    Thanks, you'll feel a lot better by doing so and people will respect you more.

    By the way, where are you from?
