The last heavyweight champion that Tommy Burns could beat?

Burns got beat up, yes, but he was not knock out. Whats so hard to understand about this.

 

He was on the verge of being knocked out when the police stopped it.

What's so hard to understand about that?

 

Marvin Hart

 

I'm waiting for someone to say Roy Jones, Jr.

 

How people see Johansson vs Burns ? :hey:

 

What about Burns vs Fitzsimmons? He was probably every bit as good as him yet Fitzsimmons is portrayed as a H2H monster.

 

So Spinks can stop a huge man like Cooney, but not a 5'7 midget? :huh

Ok i'm 5'6... but seriously 5'7 is a midget at Lightheavy, let alone at Cruiser or Heavy.

 

:think

He was the champ three years. How could someone not accept that?

 

This thread would've been better if it were, "Who was the last LHW champ Tommy Burns could beat"?

 

Nor were those that held the color line, imo.

 

I think we could start a discussion at the last welter champ he could beat.

 

I hold nothing against Burns, I just took exception to poster Dempsey stating Johnson could not ko Burns, because it is patently ridiculous, when Johnson got down to business he quickly had Burns on ***** street.Burns was saved by the bell in the 13th rd, and on the floor 4 times before the police stepped in.
I'm a fan of Little Tommy's , but lets be real here.
Burns was dropped in fights, his chin was nothing exceptional.


Pelkey a renowned puncher?

Really ,who of any class did he stop?

PLEEEEEZE don't say McCarty.:nono
