frame and is the heavier. He would fight
at something over 200: Corbett at not more
than 1y5. But l believe that Corbett will
hit the harder blow. They have different
styles OF hitting. Jackson reaches away
out and then stabs his man; Corbett
punches from the shoulder Both are
clever, but Corbett is the cleverer
/ think, however, that jackson is under
rated by many. They say that he is slen-
der in the waist and weak in the lower part
OF the body. There is, perhaps, some truth
in this, but it must be remembered that a
man may have weak spot and at the same
time know how to guard it so well that he
stands in little danger of injury. That is
the way with Jackson; it viii take a good
man to get in an effective body blow on
him. That isn't the way in which he will
be knocked outfit he meets with that
catastrophe. The way to knock him out
is to hit him in the head.
As to Corbett, it takes an exceptionally
good man TO hit him anywhere. He is as
quick as flash in getting out Of the wav
as well as in putting in blow. He has
that certainty of judgment which tells him
just how far away his opponent is. In
striking an effective blow it is the
elasticity of the muscle which counts
most. 1t gives the quickest blow, and
speed tells. Shoot bullet out of gun
and it kills man; throw the same bullet,
and it may bruise him a little, perhaps,
out no more. 1t Is the same way with q
blow. In this matter of speed, / think
Corbett has the advantage over Jackson.
/ believe that he will win the fight, and
the heavyweight championship.
The best man whom the winner of that
fight will have to face, is Slavin 0eaving
Sullivan Quit, now heavyweight cham
pion of England and Australia. He is a
man of remarkable physique, and sur
prising fighter. Surprising is good word
for it, so far as can learn. According TO
all accounts his style of fighting is very
unusual. That was what Joe McAulifie
thought about it. In conversation with
Billy Madden | learned some facts about
the tight in which McAuliffe was beaten.
Both Madden and McAuliffe said that
Slayin hit harder than any man they had
ever seen. | was looking at line picture
of Slavin the other day, and l could see
where this power comes from. The mus
cles of his arms are smooth and
round, and apparently possessed of
that tiexibility which is SO i'm
portant. He has a particularly heavy
strong forearm, and that is a good place to
look for power. With such an arm, he
should be able to drive his powerful fist
through wall. And his style, as have
said. is peculiar. He comes out at man
in unusual ways, at unexpected moments,
and with surprising force.
81 didn't know where was hit, or any
thing about what had happened till half
an hour afterwards" said McAuliffe,
speaking of the blow which knocked him
out. Some of his friends said that he'd
been hit in the stomach, but he hadn't.
The blow which did the work struck him

THE RING CHAMPIONS.
Mike Donovan Discusses Merits
Of Modern Pugilists.
coRHETT WILL WHIP JACKSON.
Andy Bowen the Coming Lightwei eight
Bob Fitzsimmons Is without q Ri
val Among Middle Weights.

l have been asked TO discuss certain
questions relating to pugilism and espec-
tally to the men now at the head of their
several classes in that department of
athletics. In sports, as in most other
matters, people are not satisfied with
knowing what has already happened; they
want to know what is going to happen.
That is why some of the questions laid
before me deal with the future In answer
ing, have no gift of prophecy to help me,
but only long experience.
Is there middle-weight who can wrest
the honors from Fitzsimmons? That is
first of the questions which have been put
to me. / must answer that do not know
any such man. We have some clever mid
dle-weights, but Fitzsimmons is at least as
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-02-08

clever as the best of them, and he has tre-
mendous natural advantages. There are
number of fairly good heavy-weights who
are not good enough for him. Above the
waist Fitzsimmons is heavyweight. His
body looks solid and strong. The slender
waist is not necessarily sign of weakness.
1t is by no means so in his case. His short
ribs stand out well, and he has good mus
cular development in the lower part of his
back. His big chest and powerful, flexible
shoulders give him the proper backing for
hard blow. Where he saves weight is in
the legs; and the value of big leg has
been greatly overestimated. Men who are
very heavy below the waist are almost
always slow. A slender leg, made of bone
and muscle, with go0d strong cords and
Joints is the best for boxer. Those who
thought that they saw Fitzsimmons' weak
ness there have discovered their mistake.
He can get along very well on the legs
which nature gave him.
After the fight at New Orleans there is
very little use in discussing the chances of
any of our middle-weights against Fitz-
simmons. If he takes good care of him
self he ought to be able to hold the cham
pionship for ten or dozen years. / have
heard it said that he would be likely to in
crease in weight so much as to take him
out of the class, but / do not think that
will happen. He does not look like a
man who would gain much weight. He
has that sort of nervous temperament
which keeps man down. In my opinion
he will stay in his present class as long as
he remains in the ring, and be is likely to
resign the honors before they are taken
from him.
He was too big man for Dempsey. The
Brooklyn boy had not only height and
reach against him, but he had weight. 1t
is true that when they entered the ring
there was only difference of about three
pounds; but Fitzsimmons was l50-pound
man at $50, and Dempsey was 142-pound
man at LAT. Jack was no stronger for the
extra five pounds, while every ounce on
the Australian counted.
Going outside of this country, there does
not appear to be any middle-weight in
Australia likely to improve enough in the
next few years to make winning. fight
against the champion. Pritchard, the
English champion of that class, is good
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-02-08

man from all accounts, but do not think
that he is built to stand against Eitzsim-
mons. He hasn't the height or the reach.
No; the middle-weight honors, to the best
of my view, will remain where they are
for some years to come.
Who is the coming heavyweight
There's an interesting question. At pres
ent we have no champion. Sullivan has
retired from the ring. A champion must
be always ready to defend his belt. He
must come into the ring within six months
after receiving a challenge properly gwen
and supported. II he does not do so. the
challenger becomes champion by default.
do not think that anybody is in the po-
sition TO claim this honor from Sullivan at
present Joe McAuliffe challenged him to
a glove contest, and Sullivan ignored the
offer. but that, in my opinion, did not give
McAuliffe any grounds for claim to
championship honors.
Jackson challenged Sullivan Just after
the Mississippi affair, but the conditions
of the case were such as TO prevent the
championship from passing by default.
John L. couIdn't accept If he had, he
would have found himself in no end of
