    Fitz felt that Corbett had given him the run-around and that his behaviour towards him was very reprehensible so he determined never to give him a re-match.

    I get that impression, but he would undoubtedly have been under more pressure, if Corbett had beaten Sharkey.

    Corbett basically handed him an excuse on a plate.

    They seem to have reconciled later.

    It's not like Corbett made it easy for Fitz to get a title shot either. Fitz chased him for years.

    I provided two links that said his father was Jewish, and Max himself identified with being Jewish. So he is clearly a product of Jewish blood. How much I care not to debate.

    Some more links to look at:

    But wait you just told us it has to come from his mother's side! Yet with Dempsey it came from the father side. Now you're running away from that...YKSAB! Do you realize what you look like now? Just admit a mistake and move on!

    You are DMF, and full of double standards. I enjoy the weekly stupidity you provide us. Sometimes I'll take time out by flipping your incorrect observations and double standards on you.

    Another checkmate Tony. Play again?

    Baer's father was half Jewish at best, the other side of his family were French Lutheran
    That's 3 times you have been informed of this.
    Even for a thick **** like you this is pretty abysmal!

    Did it never occur to you to address the topic in question?


    You are one dumb ****!

    I never said what side of Dempsey's family were Jewish I simply said his ,"great grandparents".

    You are the most obtuse poster on this forum,even stupider that Rhas Al Guhl or whatever the **** he calls himself ,two cretins without a brain cell between them.
    The pitiable thing is you think you actually win some of these exchanges.
    If brains were dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your hat off with!lol

    You also said being Jewish It has to come from his mother's side. Do I need to embarrass you? As for Obtuse, that should be your middle name. Oddly enough you have called me a good poster here before. Its no surprise multiple posters have had issues with you.

    I called you a 22 carat **** because that's what you are.
    You **** up every thread you put your slimy bigoted fingers on ,you are a virus .
    You embarrass only yourself, but are to dense to realise it .
    You haven't addressed the subject of this thread ONCE! All you've done is spewed a lot of hate and bull**** .
    You should be put down like the sick **** you are.

    Looking for something more definitive .. being banned in Germany because of rumor of being Jewish proves nothing ... as far as the other book it seems like a device concept in search of an audience .. I'd like to know the specific facts of the matter .. wh was Jewish, how far back, etc .. he could be Jewish like Warren is native american ..

    The creep is Mendoza , first he does his usual, gallops to Jeffries defence ,when Jeffries is just one of the 5 champions in the title thread, then he reverts to his usual disparaging of Jack Johnson who has nothing to do with this thread ,then he obsesses about who passes down their heritage among Jews.The mans a **** of the first order,and needs balancing with a piece of lead, preferably from a 44 magnum.
