Corbett whose record is11-4-3 , who was floored for the ten count ,with one punch by a 167lbs man. Six of his opponents were under 170lbs. Here are the records of 6 of them. 1-3-0 W 7-1-3 D 1-0-7 W 3-2-2 D 0-0-0 W 10-15-10 W x2
Of course you do! Please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not the guy who believes, the following guys would all beat Vitali?: Larry Gains Young Stribling George Godfrey Johnny Risko Tony Galento Eddie Blunt Buddy Baer Tommy Farr Jack Peterson Archie Moore Marvis Frazier ... which tells us, that a serious discussion can not be had with you!
That's not Corbett's record. As I've told you before Boxrec isn't always accurate and in this case Boxrec is way off. Corbett had more fights going into the Sullivan fight than what Boxrec has listed for his entire career. The records of many of Corbett's opponents are also way off on Boxrec. Here is the list of most of the guys Corbett fought going into the Sullivan fight. I've attached a piece below from 1892, which is a more accurate representation of Corbett's record. Dave Eiseman, James Daily Duncan McDonald Jack Burke Joe Choynski Mike Brennan Capt. James Daly Frank Smith George Atkinson Frank Glover Joe Choynski Joe McAuliffe John Donaldson Martin ("Buffalo") Costello Dave Campbell Jake Kilrain Dominick McCaffrey Peter Jackson William Spllings Bob Coffee John Lannon https://imgur.com/wKqGkhr
Not being nasty to Corbett, but when I first saw this match, the first thing I thought of was Quarry v Bodell. I just cannot see Corbett surviving the first quick counter-right that drops out of the blue.
As I've told you before, you are including Amateur fights and exhibitions. Quarry beat; Patterson Foster Spencer Lyle Mathis London x2 Bodell Shavers Show us Corbett's best nine wins? Show us his best 4 wins! lol
Showing you the complete randomness of fantasy fights...almost no one predicts a draw as an outcome. Yet it can most definitely happen. I thought this was an interesting matchup. I ran this My boxing simulation program. Much closer than you might imagine. Both as heavyweights James Corbett vs Jerry Quarry. Corbett constantly had the advantage in punches thrown while quarry had the power advantage. Fight 1 Quarry 12 round Split decision win (no kd's) Fight 2 Draw 15 rounds. 143-143, 144-142 Corbett, 144-143 Quarry. (no kd's) Fight 3 Finally in round 10 Quarry catches corbett & drops him (a full 37 rounds boxed before a knockdown). Corbett rises immediately only to get send down again. Quarry win TKO round 10 (with just 20 secs left in the round). Corbett fought very valiant . He almost had Quarry in each of the fights.
