    Did you know that Karl Mildenberger and Evander Holyfield both worked as lifeguards at one point?

    Nope, Fitzsimmons was a native of England that is beyond argument.
    You cannot be a native of a country if you are not born there,you can be naturalised which is entirely something else.

    Fitz had 43 fights in Australia,70 in the US.
    Keep trying, you might actually get something right one day!

    Quintessential Rasta Borat! Words should mean something. Bob Fitzsimmons was born in Cornwall England on 26 May 1863.
    According to the Merriam dictionary, “Native: : belonging to a particular place by birth.”

    Yet he continues to argue the point for multiple posts on the heels of claiming someone does not learn!

    Thinking about it calling him a half wit was a compliment!

    I have this fight. If anyone was robbed it was Mildenberger. Threw more, landed more, aggressor throughout. He was also fouled several times by Folley who fought his typically timid, lackadaisical fight. Waiting waiting waiting and throwing few punches.
