    AS the fight was engaged in 1885 for the Marquiess of Queensbury Heavyweight title, whats the reasoninjg behind John L not being recognised in the record books as the first champion... and the McCaffrey fight not credited as the first Official HWT fight???? Yes, John L continued to engage in Prize Ring Rules fights, does this make his title recognition less recieved?????
