    Jack Thompson fought from1913 until 1926, he had 42 fights won 19 lost 16 and drew 5.
    That's as accurate as Box rec can ascertain anyway.
    In his debut fight he faces 34 years old Joe Jeannette and beats him!
    He holds wins over:
    Bill Tate x2
    George Godfrey
    Jeff Clark x5
    Sam McVey
    Tom Cowler
    Jamaica Kid

    Draws with ;
    Battling Jim Johnson
    Sam Langford x3

    Losses to among others:
    Jack Johnson
    Harry Wills x7
    Sam Langfordx5
    Kid Norfolk
    George Godfrey x2
    And no contests with:

    Sam McVey
    Harry Wills x2
    Sam Langford
    These I take to be pre-arranged barneys which the referee stopped.
