    From 1890 to 1900 there were eleven outstanding heavyweights, Corbett, Goddard, Jackson, Slavin, Maher, Fitz, Choynski, Sharkey, Ruhlin, McCoy and Jeffries. Nobody were beating them and of the other ten, seven beat him and one drew with him, he only missed out on Jackson and Slavin, an impressive level of opposition but he mainly came up short in the decade.
