Gans backed McFarland to fight Nelson (offered to put up the forfeit money)
but Nelson insisted on a 45-round fight.
McFarland wouldn't fight unless it was 20 or 25 rounds.
There is a film of Freddie Welsh doing nothing but trying to survive against McFarland.
The fighters Nat Fleischer rated in his top ten in each weight class,
even though they never held a title (because they never got a title fight) were
Sam Langford
Packey McFarland
Mike Gibbons
Jem Driscoll
Clueless buzz strikes again.BoxBuzz wrote:Where's Benny? Well it's your round robin so you can have whomever you want in it. Benny will be ringside watching and waiting for the next round I guess.
Leonard was a gleam in father's eye when Lavigne, Erne, Gans were fighting.
Poor buzz was born without a time sense.
Standard for the clueless phonies who clutter "boxing" websites.
When you said "in their primes" I assumed you had some flexiblity regarding timelines. ...How stupid of me! But then you didnt' include Packy from the gitgo......so I feel that I'm in good company.granberry wrote:Clueless buzz strikes again.BoxBuzz wrote:Where's Benny?

Leonard won the title in 1917 and held it until 1925.
McFarlands prime was 1907--to 1912 or so.
McFarland was left out because he never won the title.
Welsh was left out because he "won" the title on a farce of a hometown (London) decision.
Leonard was a very different generation of fighter those on this list.
All the fighters on this list had 20, 25 round fights.
Title fights were 25 rounds or more.
Leonard came along in a time of no decision limited-round fights.
His title fights were often 10 rounds.
Poor clueless buzz keeps stumbling around.
Give it up, buzz.
Nonsense your vile and loathful spoutings are just a shade under gibberish. You want to make it about apples and oranges.....I just wanted to imagine another fighter in the mix that didn't fit with your "pre designed set of parameters". Of course I didn't know until after Benny and I applied for membership that this was an exclusive group. Sounds like your making Benny pack up and go home.....just because he doesn't fit your particular "profiling".
Now that I know your rules....I don't want to participate. I'll have you know I've been kicked out of better threads than this.
Your just lucky I didn't wander in with Jimmy Britt on a good day and upset the whole applecart here.
