    When Jame Tony was middleweight could he have knocked down Lennox Lewis?

    If you watch the film of the Johnson/Ketchel fight, after Ketchel knocks Johnson down he rushes in and Johnson KO's him. You will see Johnson wiping his gloves to get Ketchel's teeth out of them. Pretty scary.

    Read on this forum that it was supposed to be a show fight for the cinemas and that it was supposed to be more of a spar session but Ketchel went for a surprise punch which felled the great champ who understandably was annoyed and KTFO Ketchel.

    James Toney has had a lot of people cooking his breakfast over the years.

    Yeah, the fighters back then got money off of the replays of the fights in the movie theaters....I am not sure if it was by round or what but Johnson took a lot of guys the distance (which was pretty fucking long back then)

    Stanley Ketchel was a PLAYA, and apparently a guy who liked to party....must have been awesome to be a boxer back then everyone paid attention to the sport and the fighters were held in very high regard even if they were brainless violent thugs with bad attitudes.

    In those days the fighters must have been hero's. Dempsey after a slow start he was a bi star and they had absolutely massive crowds.
