True, Leonard has been in many fights since he won the crown. He has fought often, more often than most of the champions of other di- visions. But practically all of his bouts have been of ten rounds and under. He has yet to engage in a battle over the long route. Mayhap he could if he had to. And then aâ€" gain maybe he couldn’t. And here's another point. Not only did Nelson fight long, gruelling fights when stamina played atremendous part, "where victory often depended on ability to outlast an Opponent, but he met a class of pugilists which the present-day lightweight division cannot show. And that’s a mighty big item.. \ There is an old saw uncut prvsvnt- day pugilists that. says : “They aren‘t like) they usvd to he." or wards In that. vil’oct.

Consider the ring ezn-m-l uf Butl- ling Nels-0n. one of the g1 eatest light- weights Hf history. Nelson fought. "em all, white or black. And he look them over the long route as well. Mere than once he stepped into the ring in what was scheduled as a “light to a finish." A tough assign- ment. for any pugilist. Now, in fitting contrast, let‘s take a glance at Benny Leonard, present lightweight champion. A good man. to he sure. A real boxer, a hard puncher, quick thinker, clever, smart, shrewd. In a word, a worthy titleholder. From 1904 to 1910, when the Dane was in his prime, he engaged lll more “marathon” lights than any lightweight in history. During that period he tackled Britt four times. three going 20 rounds, and the ether 18; he had three bouts with Gans. 18. 21 and 42 rounds; he also went 23 sessions with Hyland; 40 with Wol- gast and 20 with Herrera, the hardâ€" hitting Mexican.
