Re: Was this the greatest fight ever?
The fight was not filmed, the 2,500 that were there are the only ones who will have had first hand accounts about what happened.
Undoubtedly a thrilling fight, the knockdown total is very much up for debate. With an American journal months later claiming all the knockdowns when reviewing the bout, which the French papers of the time did not mention.
But that said, it clearly was a hardcore brutal battle, even for the time.
