The present day pugilist, over a fifteen round event, uses just as much energy and absorbs as much punishment as those nightmarish brawls. This would indicate two widely diversified types of battling and consequently almost eliminate any fair means of measuring respective fighting abilities. Records of all other athletic events are being constantly- broken by modern athletes and it is inconceivable that boxing should not improve also. A fine fighter of 1893 would be considered an inept ama" ; teur in 1948. Every fighting era has been plagued with its swarm of poorly untalented leather conditioned, pushers. But modern methods of training, plus a more thorough knowledge of the noble art, should give a great fighter such as Joe Louis, a decided advantage over greats of yesany of the teryear. So just for the sake of posterity, let's rearrange the first five "greatest" heavyweight- champions of all time, to the order in which they belong. 1. Joe Louis. 2. Jack dusk-tillrda- - Blarney stone and arriving here some time shortly after the Boston Tea party. It is noteworthy that his first five selections were fighters of the long ago, and last and least on the list was one Joseph Louis Barrow. Like Abou Ben Adam, the name of John L. Sullivan, the "Boston Strong Boy," led all the rest. Which brings up the thought that it is high time that -- modern exponents of "the manly art" be given consideration when the word "great" is bandied around. e While it is only natural for boxing fans to engage in nostalgic reminiscences of their savage idols, there are many factors to be taken in consideration when true greatness is being weighed.

Sullivan. braggart, his "I can lick any man in the house" upon entering his favorite pub quickly won public acclaim and admiration. The very words conveyed the impression that here was a fighting champion a man who would fight at the drop of the hat for his championship, for money, marbles or a brand new ingrade. Is such the case? Can any inference be gathered from the fact that he never uttered those awesome words in the presence of Frank Slavin or Peter Jackson? Jackson often challenged the Boston champion but it seems the latter, like Jack Dempsey, drew the "color line." Considering that three present day crowns are worn by colored gentry, perhaps some rather formidable contenders were sidestepped in the good old days which produced such terrible battlers. Joe Louis, recently retired, could never be accused of dodging an opponent whether he be white, black or in between. His field was a wide open fie,ld. He fought every opponent worthy of a championship fight and proved himself superior over all nQt Just a few well so-call- ed old-tim- A s. chosen This does not mean that John L. Sullivan was not a great fighter. He was all of that in his day. His day saw rounds pass without a single blow being thrown, and a knockdown ended the round.
