Corbett Should Be InThe Top 20 All Time Because He Beat?????

This is silly beyond words and we have been over it before, you are counting exhibitions as fights,Corbett told Loughran how many fights he had actually had and it tallies with Box Recs figures.To illustrate how fatuously dishonest you are, you try and count the Courtney exhibition which was performed in Lubin's studio in a 10 foot ring.Corbett only participated in the farce because Sullivan demanded too much money. Anyone with just a single brain cell can see Corbett is just going though the motions against a patsy for the camera!
If those you count as fights were such why doesnt Box Rec recognize them as actual contests? Is your research superior to theirs?
"Corbett's resume is loaded with Hall of Fame people",so is Jim Flynn's! lol
Lets look a these HOF'ers.
Sullivan was nearly 34 ,fat, and an alcoholic who hadn't fought for 4 years!
Mitchell was washed up and he was never more than a super middle at any time.
Kilrain was badly out of shape.
Jeffries beat him twice.
Sharkey drew with and beat him.
Choynski was a novice.
McCoy was never more than a small light heavy and there is a question mark over the validity of that fight.
Fitz 167lbs, ko'd Corbett with a single punch to the stomach.
Jackson had a sprained ankle and the fight developed into a sleep-athon with no worth while punches landed after the halfway mark.
IBRO is full of people who are prepared to pay x amount of $ to say they are members no other qualifications are required,even a bigoted fool like you can be a member!
Your remark below is one of the most ridiculously stupid I have yet seen in print.
"While he was living, Corbett was universally thought of as top ten all time heavyweight."
For your information Corbett died in Feb 1933 ,up to that time there had been only 12 champions and that is counting himself! lol
Since Corbett's death we have had the following
Sharkey
Schmeling
Carnera
Braddock
Louis
Charles
Walcott
Marciano
Patterson
Johannson
Liston
Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Spinks
Holmes
Holyfield
Lewis
Tyson
Douglas
Klitchko
Fury
Joshua

Are you telling us Corbett should be ranked above any of the following?
Dempsey
Louis
Lewis
Tyson
Marciano
Frazier
Holmes
Foreman
Holyfield
Klitchko W
Ali
Schmeling
Tunney
Walcott
Charles
Bowe
Joshua
Jeffries
Klitchko V
Fury

If so which ones?


I'll ask you once again .

WHAT IS CORBETT'S SIGNATURE WIN?

 

QUOTE="Jackomano, post: 19662572, member: 109032"]This. Also, to be fair to Corbett boxrec as great as it is should only be taken with a grain of salt for pre 1920 fighters, since a lot of records for fighters of this period are way off on Boxrec. Jack Dempsey and Jack Jackson are perfect examples, since both in reality had over 100 fights, but boxrec has them both listed as having less than 80 fights.[/QUOTE]
"Jack Jackson"? Adam Pollack has exhaustively researched Jack Johnson and written a lauded two volume biography on him, since he has come up with no further fights for his record.I'll take his word over unsupported speculation. Dempsey began fighting in saloons in mining camps for," pass the hat change," these were not regulated boxing matches and as such do not count. I've 3 biographies on Dempsey none came up with additional fights,so again your post is just idle speculation that, without any primary sourced proof has to be disregarded.

 

Mendozy ,you made yourself look absolutely stupid with your,
"while he was living he was thought of as a top ten heavyweight".comment
As pointed out there had only been 11 other champions in his life time!lol
I gave you a list of 20 champions who are demonstrably superior to Corbett,[I didnt even have to include other heavyweights who never held the title!]
I could have included
Witherspoon
Tucker
Thomas
Wills
Langford
Jeannette
Dokes
Morrison
Mercer
Spinks M
Cooney
Quarry
Ellis
All of whom would have been warm favourites to beat old Jim,but they weren't needed were they!
You remain the most ridiculous poster on this forum and, given that Rhas Al Guhl posts here,that is saying something!

I asked you which of them Corbett was superior to? You didn't reply!
I asked you what was Corbett's signature win? You didn't reply!
You've been made to look the biased fatuous twerp you are yet again.
Nobody agrees with you,and anyone with half a brain can see your motive for hyping up Corbett is to bolster your idol Jeffries resume!
