Jack does not care particularly for
any fighter who presents a moving
target What he likes are big fell
lows suchpas willard and Firpo. who
give him a real mark at which to
sock. When Jack can stand nat
footed and let his fists go something
has to drop, but Tommy Gibbons
showed that his punches are not so
frightful when he has a weaving,
elusive target in front of him.
Dempsey Greatest of All.
But take Dempsey. all in all he is
a real champion. There now is an
almost unanimous opinion that he is
probably the greatest heavyweight
who ever held the title. John L. Suili-
van was a. good rtght-handed hitter,
but his left was not SO much, and as
a boxer Charley Mitchell, made a
show of him. Jeffries was strong and
rugged, but not the classy hitter and
boxer that Dempsey is. Corbett was
just a boxer, and Bob FitzsiInmons,
perhaps as J. powerful a hitter as
Dempsey, was too light for his Job
and his hands never stood up. Jack
Johnson was--and still fs--one of the
greatest boxers the ring ever saw.
but he had many defects that kept
him out of the class of great title
holders. AS for Tommy Burns
q joke. .--.s .
A great deal of Harry Wills pres
tige comes from the fact that he is
a negro. Men of color in the ring
impress the fans chiefly because they
do not show the bruises and other
results of blows as clearly as white
men. The impression is they are
harder to hurt than white man
But this is only an impression. Ring
experience shows that they are hurt
as easily by q wallop as MEN of any
other color. They will go down when
they get it right just as quickly as a
white man. and in most cases more
quickly.
The failure of the proposed Leon
ard Dundee fight right In Leonard's
home town suggests that Benny has
got to do something in the Knockout
line against some able boy in the
near future. Just at present Mickey
walker seems to be the one opponent
capable of making the lightweight
champion extend himself, but the
match has not yet been built up to
point where any hurrah can be
made over IL. - rs
The fans like hitter. They want
knockouts. not: decision j triumphs
Over in Philadelphia Bobby Barrett
ls fine example of this attitude
Bobby is not even a near champion,
but he can sock, and when he fights
