    I have read the book. Look loser, the French booed Johnson in both the Jim Battling fight, and the Moran fight. Funny how you forgot to mention both of them. As I said, the French stripped him, and as we know your wife beating idol avoided a fight with Langford and Jeanette.

    Typing in CAPS isn't going to help your agenda.

    PS: There is no way to prove when his arm was broken, and how bad.

    So 1. No retraction that The French Federation stripped Johnson because of his fight with Batlling Jim.
    2. No admitting that Unforgivable Blackness does NOT state that Battling Jim deserved the win.
    3.No conceding that the French audience booed the slow fight because they were unaware that the champion had sustained a broken arm.
    Your credibility remains unaltered = ZERO RATING.

    The French stripped Johnson, and booed him in two title matches in France. That stands. I said they were upset with him, and stripped. That is correct too.

    No ,you said

    1 The French Federation stripped him of recognition BECAUSE OF HIS POOR FIGHT WITH BATTLING JIM JOHNSON.
    This is incorrect, the Federation stripped him ALMOST A MONTH PRIOR TO THEIR FIGHT BECAUSE HE WAS A " FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE" IN THE US .
    IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR FIGHT

    2. You said Geoffrey C Ward says in" Unforgivable Blackness "that Battling Jim deserved the verdict.
    I quoted Ward's account of that fight in its entirety. He made NO SUCH CLAIM, in fact he states it was Battling Jim that was breathing heavily at the fight's conclusion.
    The French crowd booed both men for a desultory fight.The champion had the real excuse he had broken his arm in the third round his challenger had none.
    The injury was confirmed on examination by a French doctor .
    The Champion was also 35 years old ,and had not fought for over a year and a half.
    NOW WILL YOU RETRACT YOUR STATEMENTS AND ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG?

    I TELL YOU NOW, I WONT LET THIS GO UNTIL YOU DO.
