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

Want to compare their amateur careers?

Loma had 397 bouts ,losing just one.
How many have you found for Choynski?
Common sense ain't that common!

You're seeing one now!
Fleischer did not rate Ali in his top ten, care to comment on that?
Fleischer has the following
1.Johnson
2.Jeffries
3.Fitzsimmons
4.Dempsey
5.Corbett
6.Louis
7.Langford.
8.Tunney
9.Schmeling
10.Marciano
Do you agree with this?
ps Fleischer never saw Corbett or Fitz fight.


Charley Rose died in 1974, the year Ali won the title for the second time did he even see that fight?
He never saw Foreman regain the title.
He never saw Ali v Frazier3 ,Norton3,Lyle,etc
He never saw the following fighters.
Mike Spinks
Leon Spinks
Holmes
Coetzee
Thomas
Tucker
Douglas
Bowe

Shavers
Holyfield
Tyson
Tate
Lewis
Joshua
Wilder

NB Corbett was never in the second Jeffries fight,he had no business in a ring by then.
Here is the round by round fight report.

https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/...bett&y=4&x=17&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1


NB. The Jackson fight went 61 rds and the fight was declared a no contest.
Nothing of any significance happened after the first half of the fight as both men were exhausted and too damaged.See below.
"The fight from the twenty-fifth to the sixty-first round was simply a standoff, no hard work being done. At the close of the sixty-first round the fight was stopped by the referee. The men were unfit to fight longer, and both were willing to stop. All bets were off, and the club holds on to the purses."




















ps Have you slept it off now?lol

I'm not an expert on Boxing or anything else, just a fan of the sport. Adam Pollack has exhaustively researched Corbett's career for his biography of him,he has come up with no additional fights.
I'll take his extensive research over your speculation.I'm not telling you nothing happened after the first 27rounds, the ringside reporters are saying that!
You didn't answer my question below, care to do so now? Or will you duck it?

Fleischer never saw Corbett or Fizsimmons fight,and if he saw Jeffries as he claimed ,it was only the come-backing Jeffries against Johnson.
You havent answered any of my questions, all you done so far is insult me ,and obfuscate a load of nonsense about baseball, because you know full well that:
1.Corbett has one of the shallowest resumes of any heavyweight champion.
2.His best win is over an alcoholic ,fat, nearly 34 champ who had not fought in 4 years and it still took him 26 rds to wear him down.
3.He was ko'd by a single body shot from a man weighing under 160lbs.
4.He ducked a re-match with Jackson instead defending against middleweight Mitchell who was well on the slide.
