It was 15 rounds. But still.

Actually it was scheduled for 45 or more rounds, until there was a loser. If you’re interested in this fight I suggest that you read this: www.law.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/ECM_PRO_066938.pdf It’s a very engaging read.

Hi

Very good commentary sir! Quite enlightening and educational...I enjoyed the way that you painted a vivid, clear image of the scenario..Johnson was certainly as great Boxer and very Brave man just like you stated...Nonetheless, that was more than 120 years ago...Somebody like Charles"sonny" Liston would have destroyed Jeffries and Johnson in the same night!

@@daviddavis3389 Thank you David for your kind words. I'm not so sure about Liston taking Jeffries and Johnson any night, much less together. If fighting under the times of Liston (1950's-60's), and fighting the faster paced fights of those times, and in a controlled atmosphere of a enclosed stadium Liston would have had a slight chance against Jeffries, against Jack Johnson, no way, as Jack would have adapted to the faster shorter fights of modern times and beat Liston by ko late in the 15-round fight. Now if Liston was fighting in Big Jeff's time (early 1900's) outdoor arena, 100+degrees at ringside, a blazing sun overhead, as championship fights back in the day were fought in the summer, usually a July 4th date. Not a 15-round fight but a 45-round fight. Big Jeff would have outlasted Sonny's early round danger period, and the heat, sun, and Jeff's sledgehammer blows would have combined to stop Sonny. He would have laid down like he did with Ali once the tide turned. Against Jack Johnson, under the same conditions as Big Jeff's, Jack would have done the same exact thing as Jeff. Jack was such a great boxer, master thinker, master tactician, and did I fail to mention durable. By the 12th round, if Liston was still in the fight, one oe two rounds longer, maybe, then all the factors mentioned would have worked against Sonny in this fight also. Sonny was an awesome, dangerous, powerful hitter that could hold his own with any of the past greats for the first 6-rounds. After then, had Sonny not already knocked out his opponent, it was all she wrote, with a great from the past. Thanks again David for your input, it shows you are a student of boxing history also. Not enough fans like you sir, and thanks again!

@cjwoot he was from newbrunswick canada

No shit,...affectionate my ass.

He was also know as The Boston Bonecrusher

He used it as well. Boston terror, Boston tar baby, Boston crusher, etc

I can Look in the Future. I know exactly how. But i keep in Secret

Given the tensions of the time, he was probably also aware that if he simply floored them in the first round, there likely would have been a riot in the stadium.

Generic UsernameHere right...but also if every fight was that fast people would get bored.. just like Tyson (before the ear thing)

@@Sassy8utube And before the Buster thing when he got owned

It's exactly like Tyson Fury nowadays especially with the anti 'white' racism that's allowed from governments and other media businesses. They know racism worked back then, nowadays they simply switch which group/race that is to be more oppressed racially. It slows society down for the establishment. The more groups that are taught to identify with their race or gender or political ideology can be used to fight against each other and things are kept as they are. The most rigged looking fake fight was Wilder v Fury's first fight which was like an over acted boxing movie rather than a real looking fight and resulted in a 'Draw' with many people saying Fury was robbed. The anti 'black' media against Johnson has been replaced by anti 'white' media nowadays. They put Obomba in the white house, replace 'white' people in jobs including acting jobs which were originally written for 'white' people with 'black' people instead, 'black' people. Anthony Joshua gets spoken about as if he's the next Ali yet he bet an old Klitchko and got badly beaten by Ruiz. He's clearly not as good as the media claim. Ruiz instead of loosing weight for their second fight actually gained weight and claimed after the fight he didn't train as well as he could and would train properly for their 3rd fight??? Both Ruiz and Fury get more money for loosing or drawing and then they get to fight again with another pay day. Boxing has no Frazier Foreman, Lyle, Norton nowadays but they do have Fury who is like our generations Ali so if Fury beats Joshua and Wilder easily which he clearly can (just like you said Johnson could with other 'white' opponents) he'd have no big pay days left and the Boxing business has no Ali, Foreman, Frazier type money fights. The boxing hierarchy are definitely positioning Wilder Fury Joshua to be like Foreman Ali Frazier even though they know Wilder and Joshua are not as good as Foreman Frazier. Therefore to make the most money, to give it longevity, Fury has to take a dive or two just like Willard v Johnson, history repeats itself. Fury will definitely want to fight properly and win the titles/belts in the end. I wonder how many fake/fixed fights he be part of until then.

He used to grab their arms and tire them out. When they were really tired he'd pounce quickly and finish them, don't forget Johnson had a suspect chin and he knew this. Tactical. To add to this, his opponents were really bad. Dempsey nearly finished Willard in 1 round! Why did Dempsey and Johnson never meet. I think alot about Johnson was media hype.

Ok 5 1/2.

Jeffries was old and came out of a 6 year retirement and still went 15 rounds. If you look at Johnson's record he almost always had a height, weight and reach advantage over his opponent and found out against Willard what that means.

Cap

Donga Dunderson I don't know about that, I work on a farm doing vigorous work 10+ hours a day, 5 days a week. I used to lift a lot too, and I can't lift nearly as much as I could anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty rugged as far as physical condition, but I am not as strong as I used to be.

Yeah man, these guys aren't gym rats.... These guys had wisdom strength which meant it was functional and can still be used if they were 60 years old. Real strong men!

In addition, these old matches were either fought outdoors, under the hot, blazing, insufferable sunlight, or in some up fitted old shack, with no air conditioning, under burning hot overhead lighting. A fight that comes to mind was the 20-round Jeffries/Sharkey fight on May 6th, 1898. This fight, being one of the first ever to be filmed, went the full 20 rounds, and countless overhead lights, used in such an absurd capacity, were installed specifically for that purpose. The heat from the overhead lights was so severe that Jeffries had lost 20 pounds of his body weight, and the referee had to wear a hat to protect himself. Sharkey had suffered severe facial cuts, and Jeffries had dislocated an elbow. I wouldn't be surprised if both fighters had also suffered broken ribs.

Jack Johnson had continued to fight well into his 60s before dying in a car crash. He was that good.

ダニ社会の Jeffries weigh 300 pounds before entering this fight though. Not really functional.

George Dixon was the first.

@@fredgaspar1944 Thanks for that. For those wondering, Dixon became world bantamweight championship in 1890, more than a decade before Gans and Walcott.

The original is better. The announcers call the great white hope a traitor to his race when he lost.

@@Dempsey1873 If he fought in any modern era he would have adapted to the skill level. He was mentally strongest and that cannot be taught

Yes they did. Boxing suited fiming because it didn't move. So it could be set up with several cameras as each only filmed a few minutes. 7 I think before a reload. And they were hand cranked. A simple spring was later used and then a small motor by the 20s. These boxing movies were very popular and would tour the world and screen on sportsmans nights.

Very proud that Australia produced the first ever feature length film in 1906! I think the original went for over sixty minutes but unfortunately much of it lost over time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6dmocyL0uDan5c.html

I know right 🤮

Let's go Tyson Fury.

Well if fighting in those conditions didn't have any bad consequences. then no one would change the rules:-) but yes people also kinda "weaker"

+sj t Okay, I'll venture a couple guesses: Jeffries floors Louis early like Galento did, but Louis recovers and systematically pics apart Jeffris to win a grueling decision. Jeffries is not knocked down but his face is cut to ribbons (confidince: 60%) Johnson is to crafty for Marciano, and it goes a lot like Marciano Walcott, only Rocky probably doesn't land the hail Mary right. (confidence: ~80%)

+polymath7 I like your predictions; they seem quite sound. Try these: 1) The Roy Jones who beat Ruiz vs. a prime-time Schmelling. 2) The Jack Dempsey who beat Willard vs. the Ali who lost to Spinks.

I don't know a lot about Schmelling, but I can't think of anything that suggests he'd have a strong chance against Jones. I'd be more curious about Gene Tunney, who I suspect would outpoint Jones at ~190. Probably close like the Tunney-Greb fights. I could actually see Dempsey taking out Lewis or the Klitschkos of they fought under 1919 rules with 1919 gloves, but he has to either knock out Ali early or outpoint him, and those both seem pretty unlikely to me. I think Dempsey would take out Joe Frazier, maybe even faster than Foreman did.

+polymath7 Very interesting points. Gene Tunney is somewhat underrated in my opinion. I think that Tunney vs Floyd Patterson would be a very entertaining, evenly matched bout.

Would Jack Johnson have beaten Mike Tyson? Maybe. Would he have beaten Ali? That is something we will never know.

That was the rule then. If you're up and on your feet....you can be hit.

Lol

You done? Good. Zip it pinhead.

Why is that shocking no one ever finished it sounds silly,just like when they lock people prison and say 100 or more years it sounds more dramatic to say that,then to say the real number

Old-time fighters used to chew pine gum or pine tar gum or pieces of leather to toughen up their jaw muscles to better take punches.

right

It's hard for me to believe at times as well, just as I didn't realize that distances of 12 rounds were a relatively new idea until I read more into the history of boxing. The fact that they scheduled this for 45 rounds brings credence to people's bragging about when they went 10 rounds in a fight.

Still nothing compared to Jack Burke vs Andy Bowen 110 rounds marathon.

That's how they used to do it. Sometimes there were no judges no rounds. They would keep going until the fighter gives up.

Back in the day boxing matches could go up to 45+ rounds. If you didn’t hear, one of the guys the narrator mentions fought a 70 something round fight. Insane.

The longest fight under gloved rules was 111 rounds. Over 6 hrs of fighting.

DARRELL COOKE he retired because he didn’t want this fight in the first place

While i agree, many always leave out the fact that rocky only started training at 23 and went pro at 25

And, he took the "ass kick" like a man! After the fight, Jim Jeffries admitted that he never could have beat Jack Johnson, not even in his prime.

Why Rocky Marciano is only ninth? Unlike the others, he was undefeated, and - I believe you are wrong at this point - he won against all the most important competitors of his time. Including his friend the Great Wizzard - oh, sorry - Ezzard Charles. Also, what about the intellectuals of the ring, Gene Tunney and "Gentleman Jim"? By the way, look at the fight between Tunney and Tommy Gibbons (another artist). Just after knocking Gibbons out, Tunney came to see whether his opponent is all right. Compare this to Johnson's behavior in the movie above. Not to mention the "stars" of today. :-(

I’d make Fury number 1 , Louis 2 , Ali 3, Holmes 4, Lewis 5, Dempsey 6 Vladamir 7 ,marciano 8, tyson 9, Johnson 10.
