The great HW men who wouldn't quit.

I do not have all of their primary sources, nor do you. I take them at thier word that Jonshon quit. Do you doubt them both? Well, do you?

I do know and converse with high level IBRO people. Cucco, Cox, Callis ( who may be the best boxing historian living in my opinion ) to name a few. Who the heck do you know? Names please cowboy. None of these guys I know post on the web anymore as they are too many ignorant types who love to troll.

But this thread is not about who I know. Most boxing historians are not familiar with one 1899 fight of Johnson's, which you asked them about.

Johsnon quit. End of. So says Ward, Roberts, and AI. 3 sources There is more...

The guys you mention besides the fanboy are not familiar with the fight. Cox is ( a high level IBRO gut ) and he writes Johnson QUIT! So that's 4.




NO Charge. ^^ This link deserves its own post. ^^


Again I seldom post at EBS, but I do post every now and then. That is the end of that. By the way, I communicated with Pollack 10+ years ago and asked him how he came to that conclusion with contradicting sources, to which I got no answer. Big surprise.

Lmao....I read that article years ago. First question. Do you ever stop making things up? Second question. Can you highlight and copy the part where he talks about Johnson quitting against Haynes? And lastly, that video is about Johnsons fighting style and how he may have fared against other all time greats. Maybe you didn't notice, but Cox still rates Johnson in the top 10 all time. Pollack revealed his primary sources, something your two authors have not. Know when you're beaten Mendoza.

You do not have .
ANY PRIMARY SOURCES!

You seldom post on EBS?

Here is an old example of you lying.Klompton made list of fights that do not exist
Among them are
Fitzsimons v Ruhlin
Langford v Hague
You replied

"If you ask the right people, you might be able to see one of the above fights in green."

You said the Ruhlin v Fitz fight was filmed and bet me,it wasn't.

I spoke to Pollack about it ,he confirmed what Gilbert Odd ,and Klompton had said , the projector failed to work.

You then said you had an assurance fromTed Spoon that the fight was filmed,I contacted Ted and he stated he had said no such thing.
A fake re-enactment of the fight was made by Lubin,and you said that counted as the real fight being filmed and reneged on our bet.


You said you had seen Langford v Hague.You haven't.

Klompton then replied tearing you a new anus,telling you no film of the fight exists.

I have a report of the fight,and two incidents standout,one in the ring, before the fight started and one during the fight,I asked you to describe either. you did not reply.

   You are literally the only poster that consistently prefers secondary to primary sources on a regular basis. The ONLY one.
   
   Indeed, those men don't post here. For every single other member of the forum that is cause to prioritise primary sources.
   
   But not for you.
   
   This is due to your embarrassing inherent biases that define you completely and the specific reason that serious posters regard you as a joke.

   Without video or a more detailed account, its hard to say exactly what happened

   
   
   
   
   Correct.
   
   This makes your biased presumptions even more ridiculous.

1. Ward discusses the Klon***e-Johnson fight on page 28. His only primary source citation to the bout is the Chicago Tribune, May 6, 1899. Actually the Tribune report came out on May 7, not May 6. The bout took place the night before, on May 6. Hence the next day report. But he does quote the Tribune's May 7 report, which is quite limited.
   
   The Chicago Tribune said the local Chicago boxer, Klon***e, defeated Jack Johnson of Springfield, Illinois in the heavyweight class, but it did not say what the specific result was or even how many rounds the bout lasted.

As you were on ESB ,you have been comprehensively owned on this,now STFU, and let us get back to the original subject!

I think we all need to realize Z is a wind up merchant, not a boxing fan. This is a guy who claimed he saw Tyson vs Botha and Tyson was up on all the cards when he finally landed the knockout. He posted the score of the fight which he misread, and never even bothered reading the synopsis of the fight let alone have watched it. How can we expect him to know anything or do ANY real research on a fight that happened more the 125 years ago? I honestly feel bad for him at this point.

Here is a post he made telling Adam Pollack how good he was.

Followed by him,trying to spin sources that fly directly against his narrative,he actually posts sources that contradict his opinion!

1. Adam,
   
   Thank you for posting what you have. I view you as a pragmatic and well informed poster. Unlike McVey you do not use double standard or selective parts of newspapers or prints to make your point without examining the other side of the coin. As I said before, sometimes primary sources vary! These reports offer false information and sometimes contradict each other. It will be tough to make a definitive conclusion here.
   
   
   
   The local Daily Inter Ocean said Klon***e won the fight in the 6th round, when Referee Hogan stopped the bout at the request of a police lieutenant who was close to the ropes.
   
   "It was stopped more on account of Johnson holding on than because of any rough milling. Johnson is about 6 feet 2 or 3 inches, and has a punch in either hand that would fell an ox. He could not land it fair on Klon***e, although a punch in the head in the second round sent Klon***e to the floor. He arose immediately. After the third round Johnson tired rapidly and clung to his man at every opportunity."
   
   
   
   >>Johnson had a punch like an ox, and is about 6’2 or 6’3”. Wrong on both counts. This report indicates a TKO stoppage.
   
   
   
   The Chicago Times-Herald said “John Johnson, the discovery of George Siler, proved to be a husky fighter of enormous height but of insufficient skill to win from ‘Klon***e,’ the latter getting the decision in the fifth round after lieutenant O’Connor had called it off on account of the clinching tactics of the loser.”
   
   
   
   >>This one says it was stopped in round five due to excessive clinching, which would equate to a modern TKO. Once again, “ Enormous height for Johnson who was just a shade over 6 feet tall? “ A bit of an exaggeration, even by the standards of 1900.
   
   The Chicago Tribune said the local Chicago boxer, Klon***e, defeated Jack Johnson of Springfield, Illinois in the heavyweight class, but it did not say what the specific result was or even how many rounds the bout lasted. “Johnson, a long rangy colored man from Springfield, looking something like Fitzsimmons in black, showed up well at the start, but weakened under the steady but ponderous attack of Klon***e.”
   
   
   
   >>>No conclusion here…"
   
   
   
   Summary: Excessive clinching to force a stoppage can be viewed as a form of quitting. Today this fight would be viewed as a TKO loss with tons of boos from the crowd. Imagine what Larry Merchant might say if he witnesses crap like this?! It seems clear that Johnson adapted this tactic because he could not take Klon***e’s blows . What is unclear is if this fight had anything to do with Johnson’s alleged Yellow streak. A man’s character in the ring is seldom tested when things go his way, but here under adversity, Johnson was. The results were telling. Since Siler “ Discovered “ Johnson in Battle Royal’s, it is fair to speculate he would make try to put a positive spin on this one, calming Johnson wasn’t well feed. This would be impossible to prove either way.

   What a terrible post, even by your low standards.
   
   
   
   All this has been done and dusted on ESB years ago when Mendoza/Z was owned by all the forum.
   Here is a reply by McGrain boxing writer,and historian.

   Mendoza said:

   If you don't think excessive clinching to opt out of a fight is a form of quitting, you are mistaken.

   
   
   
   McGrain. And at what point, exactly, did I say I thought that?

   You are very quick to completely discount two very popular book on Johnson, and rally behind four fight reports, which really don't say much and have incorrect information and word description in them.

   
   
   
   I'd rather be quick to discount these books form a position of neutrality than quick to dismiss primary sources from a position of fierce bias, as you are. It's pathetic.

   Mendoza . Finally, I think the promoter not wanting to pay Johnson is very telling here.

   
   
   
   McGrain.Of course you do. Your bias denotes that you do. The possibility that it is bull**** or that the promoter is a ****ing crook would never enter your distorted little mind.

   
   
   
   ,

   Mendoza, what the **** are you on?

   
   
   ,
   
   
   
   Z is totally obsessed with hatred for Jack Johnson he has had this obsession since he first appeared on ESB, in June 2007 he is totally unhinged on the subject.

[Bronson66]

I think we all need to realize Z is a wind up merchant, not a boxing fan. This is a guy who claimed he saw Tyson vs Botha and Tyson was up on all the cards when he finally landed the knockout. He posted the score of the fight which he misread, and never even bothered reading the synopsis of the fight let alone have watched it. How can we expect him to know anything or do ANY real research on a fight that happened more the 125 years ago? I honestly feel bad for him at this point.

He is a man who said Lennox Lewis wouldn't fight southpaws,after Ossie Ocasio. Ocasio was an orthodox fighter.lol
He also said the Johnson v Jeffries fight was level after 10 rounds.

There is something not right in his thought processes!

We have Queenie for comic relief,and we have Z for vitriolic agenda.Balanced ?

That was an oversight. Lewis fought a grand total of one southpaw on his way up and looked bad. That was it.

@ Bronson and Jab5239

These primary sources!

Johnson had a punch like an ox, and is about 6’2 or 6’3”.

>>> Many errors in is this primary source. Johnson had a might punch was was 6'2 or 6'3"

The Chicago Times-Herald said “John Johnson, the discovery of George Siler, proved to be a husky fighter of enormous height but of insufficient skill to win from ‘Klon***e,’ the latter getting the decision in the fifth round after lieutenant O’Connor had called it off on account of the clinching tactics of the loser.”

>>> Um he lied down and quit! Read Unforgivable Blackess.

The Chicago Tribune said the local Chicago boxer, Klon***e, defeated Jack Johnson of Springfield, Illinois in the heavyweight class, but it did not say what the specific result was or even how many rounds the bout lasted. “Johnson, a long rangy colored man from Springfield, looking something like Fitzsimmons in black, showed up well at the start, but weakened under the steady but ponderous attack of Klon***e.”

>>> A junk report. No description of the fight!


Some Pimrary sources! Using them if I did not know any better, I say Klon***e beat a guy with a punch if a Ox who was about 6'2" / 6'3".

The more rabid you get, the worse your spelling gets!

For the last time.
Ward quotes one source, the Chicago Tribune,nowhere in that source does it say Johnson quit!
What you have just posted contradicts your opinion,can't you see that?

"The Chicago Times-Herald said “John Johnson, the discovery of George Siler, proved to be a husky fighter of enormous height but of insufficient skill to win from ‘Klon***e,’ the latter getting the decision in the fifth round after lieutenant O’Connor had called it off on account of the clinching tactics of the loser.”


Seriously, nobody agreed with you when you made the thread on ESB that Johnson quit to Klon***e.and nobody agrees with you now.
At least on ESB you were ruining your own thread,but this isn't your thread.
So do the decent thing and shut your ignorant mouth.
We are all heartily sick of this weekly hate fest of yours about Jack Johnson, a man who has been dead for 80 years!
