So it happens that only two OF
the six champions ever tried to re.
cover their lost honors. One was
Corbett; the other, was Fitz. Cor
bett got his first shot when he was
"a; his second when he was 81.
And Fitz fought to become cham
pion. again when he was 40.
And both had to 20 up against
the man who has been called
by many, ''the greatest heavy.
weight that ever llved'--JaInes
u. Jeffries. They had to meet
q giant who could take more
! punishment than any heavy.
weight Of any era; they had to
battle man Of amazing
strength, fmitIess endurance and
. terrific punch in either hand.
II was almost two to against
either Of them turning the trick
IL they both had been in their
prime when they tried It. When
they fought jeff they were from
10 to 16 years older ana JEFF was
far under 80 and in the greatest
form of his career.
If I were going against % or
81 year old Jeffries on the 22nd,
and If, at the same time, I were
four or five years older than am.
then 1 might have my doubts about
success, too. But, fortunately for
me, I'm meeting Gene Tunney who
Is only three years younger than ]
am, and who. great as he Is. Is
hot any Jim Jeffries.
Jeff had q murder0us left
hook. Tunney hasn't. jeff
could annihilate men with q
smashing right cross. Tunney
is a good right hand hitter
! Just good. and that's all. Some
men cut Jeff's face to ribbons
with their punches But none
ever daxed or staggered him.
He was unhuftable, so far as
possible knockout was con-
CeTned.
But I have an idea that Tunney
can be hurt-and Tunney can be
dropped-if hit right. If he ever
has to weather a storm Of blows
4 don't think he'll do it as well as
Jeffries. Nor do think that he
has the endurance and the stamina
Of Jeff.
so I think that the failure of
Corbett and Fitz to comeback
against jeff isn't one of those pre-
cedent things that will have any
thing to do with my shot at
Tunney. And I expect the fight to
prove 1t.
