    It would be obvious to anyone with one brain cell more than an idiot that I was referring to a post Hart when I said 1905.
    I prefaced the sentence with after the loss to Hart.:patsch


    You cannot go low unpurpose ,there is no such word.
    It's strange, no matter how many times your spelling, is corrected you repeat the same howlers.
    Venison for version,supper for super,etc you are like a cracked record churning out the same bollocks ad in finitum, everyone knows your agenda and treats you with either patronising disdain or pitying condescension.
    Your hatred distorts not only your judgement but, removes you from reality,if only it would remove you from the earth, back to whatever galaxy you came from.

    Gun boat Smith,in Smith's own words,[taped in a 1970's interview] , put Johnson through the ropes in a sparring session, he did not tko him ,you cannot be tkd in sparring ,as other posters such as Klompton have told you.
    Johnson avoided Smith?
    Actually it was Smith who avoided Johnson.

    Smith had a fleeting purple patch from Dec 1912 when he beat Frank Moran ,[who had himself beaten no -one of note at that stage of his career],until Jan 1914 when he beat an ill-trained Arthur Pelkey,who only took the fight because he was bankrupt from legal fees incurred fighting the case against him for fatally injuring McCarty.

    Smith's biggest career win was a disputed points dec over Sam Langford in 1913,which many hotly disagreed with. Langford redressed matters 11 months later flooring him in the 1st and, 2nd rds and ,koing him in the 3rd rd.
    So that gives us a window of a year in whch Smith was on a roll before Carpentier and, Langford burst his bubble for good.

    When Smith was in London to fight Billy Wellls, he was asked when he would be challenging Johnson,at first he did not reply ,but,when pressed he snapped, "Johnson will wait and ,the longer he waits the better".It was Smith who didn't want any part of Johnson ,not the other way round.
    Another lie exposed .:good

    I was actually the first person on this forum to post the quote in its entirety,it is from In This Corner by Peter Heller ,a book many on here speak of with respect ,but one that you have allways disparaged ,want me to trawl back through your posts?
    Dazzed ? Was he dazzed unpurpose? :lol:

    Johnson's manager was not even in camp when he sparred with Smith, don't place too much trust in AP stringers.Rather believe the man who landed the punch ,Smith himself.
    Moran and ,Willard had beaten no one of note ,when Smith beat them.
    It was Moran's win over Al Palzer that made him a viable challenger for the 35 year old Johnson.

    Just as it was Willard's win over fellow giant Carl Morris that got him mentioned as a suitable foe for a 37 year old Johnson.

    I see your grammar has not improved ,similar to your objectivity ,and your honesty.
