    I reckon Corbett is putting out cigarettes on Roys chickens and hefting his porter by the time this one is over. Anybody who bests Peter "Black Hurricane Barbados" Jackson over 186 rounds is a serious bad ass.

    I think Corbett would last at least 30 seconds.

    Really need Ramonza here for these fights

    I read Corbett didn't eat for days regulalry like most people in those days. In one particular instance while running through the hills on the way to a match he came upon a bee hive. He needed the honey for nourishment and busted the hive open and absorbed all the honey he could. He was covered in it and the bees followed him to the fight and were stinging him repeatedly. He still fought 150 rounds whilst being swarmed and stung the entire time. Also he had polio.

    Roy aint ever done that.

    Corbett's coolness of disposition and gentleman's grace will carry him to a KO loss inside of one minute

    No, but rounds could end abruptly. Every round wasn't the same amount of time.

    the sun dial was invented a few years after Corbett's last punch of his career

    I don't think so. Jeffries didn't stop him and he was very quick and a harder puncher than Jones.
