up the relative ability of Jess
Willard and Frank Moran, says
Willard undoubtedly has had more
ring experience than Moran. Won
der how he figures it? Starting
April 80, 1918, Moran met Luther
McCarty, Jim Logan, Al PalzeT, Jack
Johnson, Bombardier Wells, George
Sims and Jim Coffey. They were all
fairly tough birds, too. Five of the
seven bouts resulted in knockouts
by Moran. In the same time, Viii
lard had few more bouts but "Boer'
Rodel, "Gunboat" Smith, Tom Nc
Mahon and Jack johnson were the
only real tough ones. Mcmahon and
Smith both won decisions over VIII
