Jack Johnson Admits He Was Genuinely KO'd

[Bronson66]

"It was a clean knockout and the best man won. It was not a matter of luck. I have no kick coming." Jack Johnson after he lost his world heavyweight title via 26th-round KO to the massive hard-hitting 'Pottawatomie Giant' Jess Willard in Havana in 1915.

'The more I think of it, the more I am convinced that the two biggest crimes of my career were, being born colored, and, second, battering Jim Jeffries into insensibility at Reno. I couldn't help the first, and I could have only avoided the second by lying down. So I have nothing on my conscience....

I think Corbett should be there, certainly in front of Tyson.Another for consideration Armstrong,but still a fine list!...

[Bronson66]

And if they call you a KUNT? Just ignore it and continue debating with them? I don't think so,not this poster,that leaves me with two options, respond in kind and get banned. or cease exchanging with them, which is the option I have chosen.
I was having a polite debate with Travestny when the...

It was refreshing to disagree and still retain politeness....

Lewis did not have a chin as granite as Chuvalo's, who did? But it was far from being glass ,which is the subject we are discussing.

He took the sort of shots from Vitali that had ko'd lots of men.full blooded, on the button power shots.Lewis was on his feet when the fight was stopped against...

Oh how I would have liked to have met you 30 years ago. Now? You're worth neither my time or my effort.

Just stick to making posts about ancient fighters, posters not only don't remember,they have never even heard of, and also have zero interest in.
When you realise you are forcibly...

All punchers. BTW what happened in the rematches?...

[Bronson66]

Yeah I know this from first hand, having been challenged to a fight,by someone who was about to visit the UK,when I accepted and attempted to firm up a date ,the other party disappeared from the internet until they were safely back in the US.
Anyway, it's done now, bridges have been burned,no...

All good punchers that failed to do what you described.

How many heavyweight champs fought more punchers?...

[Bronson66]

I'm done with that ,I don't initiate insults, and I sure do not appreciate them. I'm an old man now,but anyone calling me ,"feminine",should have been face to face with me 3 decades ago,I think I would have been able to change their mind on that without too much difficulty....

[Bronson66]

How many of Armstrong's welterweight challengers deserved title shots?...

[Bronson66]

T .I GOT IT WRONG!

DeForest did NOT fall out with Dempsey, he left his position as trainer with him because he wanted a rest,they parted on good terms and he was asked by Dempsey to return.
DeForest next took the position as the Polo Grounds promoter.MY MISTAKE
I got De Forest...

On another matter Fleischer wrote dozens of books ,how many of them has Glaukos read to declare they are all plagiarised from other works?
I'm done with this kind of cretinous ******ity!...

[Bronson66]

Glaukos F O...

[Bronson66]

How many books on boxing did Brown write?
How many did Fleischer write?

Do me a favour , don't call me dude.

Better still put me on ignore,because I'm just about fed up with your helter skelter ,off the wall,thought processes, and personal attacks.
Your personal...

He was also his ghost writer,that doesn't make him a real boxing person, or one likely to be in a crowded dressing room when Dempsey was only a challenger for the title.When did Brown begin his employment with Dempsey?

Nat Fleischer, later founder of Ring Magazine, was an eyewitness reporter,...
