I mean, what the fornicate is up with the champion picking two guys who arguably weren't top-10 fighters (had rankings existed back then) to fight for the vacant title?

Oh, and about the consecutive bouts without a kayo loss? Harry Greb had at least 250 fights after his kayo loss to Kid Graves, and he was stopped in none of them. That beats out Freddie Miller by 100 fights!
Ofcourse Hart and Burns were top level fighters!... Hart had just recently beaten Jack Johnson!...

Sorry!!! I meant 247 consecutive bouts without being stopped. That is more impressive!!! :D :D :D

Geez. Where do they find these guys?

There's no point in wasting your words with people who have a pre-conceived notion of a subject or who just want to be a shit-disturber.
