1917 article describing Willard as "clumsy" and "slow" (referring to his 1911 and 1913 fights). https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AIBAJ&sjid=q3UFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3948,2465516&hl=en
Obviously some animosity on the authors part because he was writing bout a fight that had happened 4 years prior. My article was much less biased because it was written for the purpose of conveying the summary of a fight that had just happened instead of one that had happened 4 years prior. Willard was very inactive at this point in his career as the heavyweight champ and people were upset with him.
Unfortunately for all of us, Big Jess isn't here to defend his statement about his own lack of fighting skills.
It's behind a firewall. Choose to believe me or not. I could care less. Tho I will say that I generally trust longtime contributors to this site.
Haha! Given your convoluted statements, often masquerading as questions which can't be understood nevermind answered to your agenda driven satisfaction, it's ironic that you take issue with another's communication skills! You seem to resort to personal attacks and attacking form due to your own lack of substance. One can disagree without being disagreeable.
Well, then, invest in your research and buy the appropriate services to verify the sources I list. I can't help it if you are not serious enough to put some skin in the game.
