Kid Mccoy Praises
Old Ring Master

Kill Mccoy. once one of the great
est CT lighters, gives all the present
day crop OF glove pushers full
credit for their achievements, but
like others of the old school of ring
dom, Mccoy can not help but add in
tere:,t to every flaming bee on fistic
affairs by recalling some OF the old
timers whose work in the wake of
the resin impressed him.
* Sp eaking of the veterans recently.
Mccoy dwelled at some length on
George Godfrey. better known to
some of the old guard az odd Choco-
late Godfrey has passed to the
great beyond. He never met Mccoy.
but the kid" is perfectly familiar
with his ring achievements and al
ways maintains Godfrey was one of
the very best colored men the ring
game ever produced.
Godfrey was Il tighter. He knew
but little of the scientific end of the
game. but he was as game as a
pebble and took on nearly all of the
big time" crowd. altho he once re-
fused to meet John L. Lullivan after
hating challenged Sullivan repeated
ly.o
Godfrey's ring career drew to an
almost abrupt close. He was given a
terrific beating by Joe Choynski at
Corey Island on October 81. 1892.
Tn. mill went Is rounds and Choyn-
ski punched Godfrey until it ,ap-
pesred the latter would cave in. He
finally took the count. On May 90,
1894 he got another lacing from
Peter Maher, and then he did decide
to quit.
Godfrey was hustler and he was
perhaps one OF the most thrifty OF
the colored fighters. He worked in
a butcher shop in a Boston market
during the day and trained at night.
He also worked at night on the
foundation OF his home. When the
house was completed he married a

white woman. He settled down and
for years ran a boxing school and
gym. His patrons we're fistic fans
whom he had become acquainted
with during his ring days.
Kid Mccoy declared Godfrey was
one of the most wicked punchers the
game has ever known. altho 1t was
quite difficult for him to land be-
cause his judgment of distance was
sadly off color. But "OId Chocolate"
was strong and when one of his
punches did ind it's mark, It vas
nearly always accompanied by bono
crushing force. Mccoy maintains
Godfrey would have made a barrel
of money in this day and age because
no was a rough ard ready miller
the kind present day fans complain
are SO scarce.
