I say legit. Sure he's a B champion, but a champ nevertheless. He was a really big dude, strong and tall and a pretty good jab and more fluid than...
Hearns by decision. Pea was a southpaw, very quick, great shape, excellent footwork, wonderful headmovement, just enough pop to get respect but...
Jeffries clearly had the superior title reign. Fitz, Corbett, and Sharkey are and were better than anyone Johnson fought as champion. Johnson may...
BTW, when you read my Fitzsimmons book, you are going to view his fight with Corbett with a whole new perspective. I truly enjoyed researching...

Look it, even former champs have their biases, which varied from time to time. John L. Sullivan had a mean hook. Any claim that Corbett invented...
Actually, everyone might be right. That's because these guys constatntly changed their opinions, often gave different opinions to different...
