    You got Burns dropping Kauffman with a body shot in sparing (?) you got Johnson sparring Kauffman, you got Ketchel-Johnson round 11 (which I don't think is on the internet?) you got Jeffries sparring right before the fight (name that partner?), footage of Jeffries right before he come out of retirement (320lbs?), footage of Tex, Johnson racing Barney Oldfield (watch for him turfing the fire bucket, the guy has ice in his veins) Sullivan fooling with Corbett...this is a beautiful thing.

    GReat find ... when the old docs made over the last thirty years or so pop up you do find some additional footage ... different portions of clips ... fun stuff ... I remember one doc had a different angle of the famous clip of Sullivan hitting the speed bag .. you never know, a huge part of the fun !

    Early in the match, Jeffries has no problem pushing Johnson backward in the clinches. I have several rounds of the action and its the same until Jeffries tires. He was out of the game too long to come back.

    Yeah, **** off Mendoza, you're full of **** on this. If both you and McVey could **** off and not ruin this thread, i'd be very happy about that.
