Going to nit pick here- possibly deserve a light slap or two. My old hobby as misguided younger man- boxing history. James J Jeffries, born Carroll, Iowa about 1874, retired undefeated, as Heavyweight champion. Unfortunately he,under great pressure, came back after a six year hiatus. He met a humiliating defeat at the hands of Jack Johnson as a challenger. Reno 1910. I, long ago, changed interest to American Western history, 'er now about the death of Billy the Kid..... LOL.

To self: Quit and stayed quit would qualify both Tunney and Marciano of course. Still long lived Jeffries deserves mention.
