Please see the Denver Ed Smith thread in the "Boxers of the Past" forum. In answer to the inquiry that started that thread, I have documented that Denver Ed Smith died on September 13, 1898 in Wichita, Kansas. He died as a result of a gunshot wound received in November 1897.
Therefore, the last three bouts on his record - McCormick, Brown and Ryan - could not have happened and should be deleted.
Thanks.
