The last heavyweight champion that Tommy Burns could beat?

This post is absolute ****.




1. Jewey Smith was English, he was born in Spitalfields London.
2. Johnson sustained no rib damage from Burns, after the fight he went for a swim , then hosted a victory party. Burns went to bed ,attended by his Wife.
3. Burns was floored 4 times during the fight, his jaw was swollen to twice its normal size it was feared it was broken

4.. The Police asked McIntosh the referee to inquire if Burns wanted to quit as early as the 11th round, he was in such distress.
5.. The average weight of Johnson's title challengers is considerably more than that of the heavyweight champions that preceded him. 202lbs.
6.. Burns was on the floor when the fight was stopped.
Watch the film,at 3min you can see him on his way down.
7.. Burns fought Johnson because he received an unheard of purse of $30,000.Johnson got
$5,000.

8..The Johnson/ Battling Jim fight was scheduled for 10rds its been posted loads of times.

9.. Johnson did not quit, he went the distance to a draw, after breaking his left forearm in the 3rd round, he then fought one handed for the remainder of the fight.


Burns was a fine fighter ,but he was never in the fight with Johnson, as ringside reports conclusively show.
Here is the NY Times ringside report.
