He ‘wasn't burt and he didn’t crush peo- ple to the ground by hitting them on the “back lung.” He didn’t growl, He didn't glare. Corbett was the matader in the ring at New Orleans; Sullivan the Plunging bull. And the matador’s sword turned the trick, Next day Sullivan as @ fighting ideal had vanished. Every fighter in America wondered if he couldn't “outclever them” like Corbett. Box- ing {nstructors taught their pupils to hooks intended to knock his man out whenever one lande became the} modei.

Just at present Willard ts betng challenged by Fred Fulton, a long, lean six foot six spectmen from Min- nesota who boxes well, has a good fighting head and would be taken quite seriously if he weighed more. And at that Fulton weighs about 220 pounds, which would have made him @ giant of @ heavyweight in the time of Sullivan, Fitzsimmons and Corbett. Sullivan never wetghed more than 195 pounds In his good fighting days. nine Inches tall and welghing around 160 pounds was quite big enough to fight any heavyweight. Later Jim Corbett sald a man six feet tall and weighing 180 was big enough to fight anybody, But Corbett's firhting model {s al! out of style.
