With a more careful, lees agitated count he would have won the welterweight championship. years later Downey, now as a middleweight, battered his way to a knockout victory over Johnny Wilson, then bolder of the championshtp, Some fighting only to be declared the loser on a ghostly foul which was ap- parent to no one except the referee, Jimmy Gardner, hand- picked by Wilson, More hard luck for Downey. Had fair play ruled he would have been crowned champion of the middies that day. More recently, Downey came out of retirement to meet Harry Greb, present holder of the mid- dleweight title, Downey knocked Greb up against the ropes in the arly part of the fight and ap- peared to have the champion gp- ing, but the Pittsburger rallied, regained the aggressive and came on to win decisively. Downey left the ring severely beaten and outclasxed. Now he has dropped naturally into the realm of second-raters, His days a8 a potential champion are gone. Here and there he may find an unknown or an un- skilled puncher whom he can handle. He is tough and rugged and can keep on taking lickings for several years yet, but the championship spark {s dead, The experts won't mention Downey's mame any more when they #it down to write about bat- tlers who deserve a crack at the tide. And that's a rather tough break for a man who had both the welterweight and the mid- dieweight titles taken from him.
