 Joe Brown (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brown was finally inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.
He recorded only one contest – winning a four round decision against Leonard Caesar on 3 September 1943 – before being called-up for wartime service.
The impetus for Brown’s ultimate success seems to have been provided by a crushing defeat at the hands of future National Boxing Association Welterweight Champion, Johnny Bratton, late in 1948, immediately followed by a short spell away from the ring.

 Joe Gans Championship Years: Setting the Record Straight
Official record books list the championship reign of lightweight Joe Gans from 1902-1904 and 1906-1908, despite the fact that according to newspaper accounts of the time he never lost his title in the ring.
I intend to show that Gans’ record in the ring has been distorted over the years; I hope to correct the official accounts of his record and prove that he was lightweight champion of the world without interruption from 1902-1908.
Consequently, the Britt-Nelson fight should be recorded in record books as nothing more than a “title claimant” bout, a bout where a white fighter claims a title that justly belongs to a fl champion.

 Joe Gans, the "Old Master"
His jab is strong as an offensive as well as a defensive weapon, he is the master of ring center, elusive up close, and nearly impossible to force to the ropes.
One must consider that Gans was the first fl -American born- boxing champion, and he often suffered from racial prejudice and injustice and was sometimes forced to carry and even lose to white opponents.
Tad Dorgan, a boxing commentator and writer for the San Francisco Chronicle and New York Journal, who saw all the greats from James J. Corbett to Gene Tunney, rated Joe Gans as the greatest fighter he ever saw regardless of weight.

The former heavyweight boxing champion Floyd Patterson died on May 11th at the age of seventy-one, after battling Alzheimer’s and prostate cancer.
His bare legs were thinner and looked longer as he jumped rope (always to a record of “Night Train,” which he must consider lucky), but where in the Catskills he had jumped only two records’ worth—eleven minutes in all—he now jumped a full four, or twenty-two minutes, without stopping.
Liston was not to be drawn on boxing; he says that “newspaper writers ask you is the sun shining when they see the sun is shining,” by which he means that they labor the obvious.
