The ref of the fight said Ketchel clearly landed. Johnson stated he was hurt. The press at hand said Johnson was dazed. All primary sources who where there. A book written years later doesn't change facts. DUH.
The way you worded it implied he lost the other 12 it was blatantly obvious! This is your deliberately misleading statement "He only won 1 of his next 13" Omitting the fact that 5 of that 13 were No Decision bouts and another was a draw, add another that was a win, and he actually lost 6 of the 13. 6 of the 13 . OF THAT 6 1 WAS TO DEMPSEY,ONE TO WEINERT.1 TO FULTON, 2 TO Miske all top notchers. I posted the details of the 1st Dempsey v Smith fight to prove that Dempsey had no trouble with him,and the poster I was responding to was polite enough to thank me. I've explained this to you this 3 times now ,but you are such a thick **** ,it doesnt sink in. Johnson could not have fought McCarty anywhere in the world,for 2 reasons He was a fugitive from the US so he couldnt fight there and McCarty drew the colour line! Smith beat both Moran & Willard on NWS which were close.There was nothing close about the Johnson v Moran fight! Smith knocked Johnson partially through the ropes in a sparring session.Johnson then sparred with two more boxers,thats how groggy he was! Ive posted the information about Johnson signing to fight Jeannette,McVey and Langford ,and asked you 4 times this week already to provide verified offers of $30,000 that he turned down to defend against them .You ignored my requests and you will continue to do so,because you know they do not exist, don't you MR LIAR!
