Well it's worse than that, Fitzsimmons as near as can be certain made 152 in 1891 for Dempsey. He was late twenties for that one.
Fitz wrote "Physical Culture and Self Defense " I have read parts of it. Its an excellent manual on boxing that includes photos. Fitz was years ahead of his time. Many of the principles are still valid 100 years after the fact. [url]http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/physical-culture-and-self-defense/12193398[/url]
Yep. He was inexplicably big for his weight. I don't know what he weighs here but he looks more than a middleweight : This content is protected That's his weak skinny side. All his size was on his back. (Cue Seamus enter the thread with "You're all gay" remark.)
Thanks a million to McGrain as well as everyone else on this thread for such fantastic and fascinating stuff:good:good
:goodBrilliant.Such a fitting contri coming from someone that goes by the nome de guerre Mendoza.Thanks a million,man:good
Has Pollack released an expanded version of his Fitz biography or a volume 2 because all mine says about the Ruhlin fight is … 1900 KO6 Ruhlin. My copy of the book effectively ends when Fitz beats Corbett for the title in 1897 and no other fight of his after Corbett is covered.
Sorry, its in the Jeffries biography,there is also a graphic account of the fight in Gilbert Odd's" The Fighting Blacksmith".
I got the wrong book ,its in the Jeffries biography.Check out Gilbert Odd's" The Fighting Blacksmith," too.
