Johnson. I'll defer to someone who actually saw them both fight. Nat Fleischer rated Johnson at #1 and Dempsey #4. I don't know any better than...
That's hilarious. Made my weekend!! Great story.:good Clay must have been grooming his fix machine for the Liston fight. I guess it took a few...
What was the story on the Fleeman fight, Senor? All I can find is that it was stopped in the 6th round because of a broken rib. Did it smell...
