    Anyone have an estimate as to Johnson's weight range around the time he fought Jim Scanlan in 1901?

    I would say in teh 175-185 range. You can pay to do a search of Texas newspaper archives. Look for whatever the Galveston rag was at the time.

    Six months after the Scanlon fight Johnson scaled less than 185 lbs, when he kod Jack Jeffries.
