JACK JOHNSON'S RECORD

[Martin Sosa Cameron]

The Ring Record Book is considered the best boxing records book of all times, but there are in the most recents versions of this book, any fights of Jack Johnson that aren't recognized by BoxRec; i.e.: Frank Childs (Chicago, IL, 1902-01-17); Billy Stift (Denver, CO, 1902-06-04); Joe Jeannette (New York City, NY, 1906-12-09 and 1908-01-03); Al McNamara (Plymouth, England, 1908-06-11) or Victor McLaglen (Vancouver, BC, Canada, 1909-03-10)... What is the reason of this rejection?

There is no newspaper evidence of the Childs or Stift fight. The two Jeanette fights are exhibitions. The McNamara and McLaglen fights are also exhibitons.
