Hello, I was hoping someone might have something on William Daly, champion of Chile and South America. He fought in South America from 1909 - 1922 or so. He was an early opponent of Firpo as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone on the board own a copy of issue 512 from 1929 of the Grafico with Kid Charol on the cover? There is a picture on the cover in the upper left hand corner of two black boxers in the ring. I am trying to find out who they are. Any help would be appreciated.

¿Hay alguien en el tablero propia una copia de la edición 512 de 1929 del Grafico con Kid Charol en la portada? Hay una foto en la portada en la esquina superior izquierda de dos boxeadores negros en el ring. Estoy tratando de averiguar quiénes son. Cualquier ayuda se agradece.

Does anyone have a photo or further information on William Daly, who fought in South America from 1910 or so to around 1922. He fought Firpo and Abe the Newsboy and was quite popular in Chile. I would really love to find a newspaper or magazine image of him. THanks for any help. Kevin

The fight was officially a no contest after 61 rounds. Corbett did not win, officially or otherwise. I am not sure where you are all getting this information but it is a grave injustice to Mr. Jackson, who did 90 percent of the leading in this fight--in essence making the fight--to state that Corbet...

He wasn't afraid of fighting anyone...including Jackson!!! If he was afraid of fighting Jackson then he would have never gotten near a ring with Corbett...after all, Corbett handled Jackson pretty handily, so why would he refuse to fight a lesser fighter than Corbett? Hey Barry, you and I usually s...

Sullivan was a child of his times, and most people from his background and community held views which we today see as racist and abhorrent. Then again, that is the view of our times, its called progress Corbett and Jeffries were of the same era as Sullivan but neither were as racist as Sullivan and...

I am assuming that you have decided that the article was not as inaccurate as you initially labeled it?

In 1903, still a lightweight, and in just his 26th recorded professional contest, he fought and beat world champion Joe Gans over 15 rounds in a nontitle bout. Wrong! The two fought at a catchweight, not at 135. Langford still was techincally considered a lightweight. He came in at 139 for the Gans...

Oh, that's just silly. Ever hear of Harry Wills? Jack Dempsey? Silly? I doubt it. I think the quote was the first two decades of the 20th century--that would be 1900-1920. Nobody was more respected or feared than Sam Langford during that time. Dempsey became a name around 1918 and Wills around 1914...

Like what?

Many also say that Jeffries ducked black contenders and never fought a black man all in their prime, while this is true that he did not defend the title against a black man, he did however have bouts with Frank Childs, Hank Griffin, Bob Armstrong and Denver Ed Martin, knocking them out and they wer...

Thanks KOJoe! Its always nice to hear good things.

Thank Bladder

I actually mis-spoke. Christian was born in Kentucky and not Ohio. he only died in Ohio.

Do you have his birth certificate or any other document that would prove this? I have seen him referred to in old Montreal papers as Canadian. Regardless of what anyone else says to the contrary, I will think of him as a fellow Canuck. Cap Actually I do, several, including census records, ship's lo...

George Christian was born and died in Ohio. He was not Canadian.

I remember Brockton getting snubbed at that Ali/Marciano event. I would have loved to have seen old Bert get verbally owned. But, Sugar was his usual self that night, late, drunk, wrong and obnoxious. I have no use for anything he says or writes. He is basically a publicity gimmic--of his own creati...

I smell a Dempsey fan dripping from that little blurb you wrote there. Rowan, I smell a petty, clique minded mentality (or lack of mentality) emanating from your above quote. AS I SAID, to some, "boxing" is a popularity contest decided by those who belong to various laughable cliques who ...

Langford weighed 156 pounds when Johnson fought him. Yeah and............. The Sam Langford whom Jack Johnson embarrassed himself and his heavyweight championship by refusing to fight was no longer a middleweight. OK and............ Certainly your "research" let you in on that basic infor...

granberry This is an interesting observation. On one hand there is no readon for Ward to use the paragraph from 39-40 if he doesn't want to. I mean, he's trying to construct an argument of some kind and he'll take what suits him. BUT what is odd is that he doesn't quote Smith by name as his name ob...
