McVey, spot on. If anything he was better than you give him credit for. Stamina was a problem but most people felt he defeated Hart in what was a virtual eliminator. He was prepared to fight the top black heavies and beat Armstrong, Byers, Klondike in a twenty fight plus run from mid 1902 until late 1907. His battles with Ruhlin, Hart, Armstrong puts him at the top echelon of the heavyweights for this time frame without a shadow of a doubt. Sorry 70's fan865, don't mean to derail your thread, just setting the record straight.
