I will give credit to anyone able to go through 50 minutes of watching that fight. Another Jack Johnson fight for anyone that is interested:...
Indeed. Nobody is questioning Johnson's stamina. The one time that Johnson knew he was not in condition to go 45 rounds, he took the fight to...
The type of punches Schaaf was throwing did not indicate that he was wearing the mythical "cuffs". Robinson vs Fusari is an example of a fighter...
Schaaf fought like a warrior to his death in my opinion. Carnera landed a ton of leather on him. I do not understand why an ill man would wait...
The fixed fights that I saw which were later proven to be outright fixed were fairly obvious atleast. I don't think fixed KO's are too regular...
I wouldn't call Canzoneri a puncher but on film he showcases a more potent punch than his dismal KO record indicates. Aside from the KO over...
Boxers aren't top class actors. When a fight is fixed or a boxer takes a dive, it's usually relatively easy to recognize. Admission of guilt...
It's too bad his whole late 40's campaign isn't on tape. There's always something to watch for in a Jersey Joe Walcott fight.

The only thing Sharkey dived into was Carnera's fist. After that, Sharkey thought better of getting up against a man who outweighed him by over 50...
Johnson fought with one of the best possible styles for his time. It's useless to strictly compare his boxing techniques to modern boxing. I'm...
Iran Barkley in more recent times. Punching power was one of his best assets, but he had less than a 50% KO percentage. Had a lot to do with...
Jeffries landed his best blows with his head. Johnson couldn't miss, it's just too bad he rarely ever tried to put the punches together.
