So far as I am able to determine, there never has been in the
history of pugilism, or other athletic endeavors, a man whose
career has been longer than mine, and there has been no one to
reach my age with his skill and strength intact. Men ten to
twenty years younger than I have retired from the ring and are
forgotten. As for me, I am continuing daily, my physical
development and the care of my body with the same
conscientiousness that I observed when engaging in the arduous
work of meeting all boxers. More than that, I have in recent
months engaged in some severe ring battles and won all of them.
Only the restrictions of boxing commissions because of my age,
prevent me from becoming a contender for the highest ring
honors. Yet a large percentage of the public, I believe, feel
that I am still capable of standing up against the best of the
boxers. Friends who know me best believe that I can defeat any
of the present heavyweights. |
