Anyone know how to get rid of the asterisks in the prior post? (first four letters of fighter's name that form a four-letter word).

Jan 1912 Ratings List (Perf Pts and changes from 1911 in parens)

Champ: Joe Gans 62-13 (36) (773) (+16)
1. Packey McFarland 21-0-1 (14) (1071) (+1)
2. Jack Britton 25-4-1 (12) (1042) (-2)
3, Mike Glover 17-3-2 (7) (798) (+11)

5. Dixie Kid 38-11-2 (18) (772) (-2)

7. Mike Sullivan 30-12-4 (16) (725) (-3)
8. Honey Mellody 30-12-1 (9) (707) (NC)
9. Young Joseph 31-12-1 (13) (689) (+15)
10. Jimmy Gardner 28-9-3 (14) (676) (+1)

Comments: Gans pulls off the huge upset to rise from the ashes of the End career stage to take the top spot, but his is only the 5th highest PP total in the division, and he trails the unbeaten McFarland by almost 300 pp. Gans is at End career Stage, Jackson at Post, but all the others are at Prime. Don't expect Gans to hold the WBA belt much longer. McFarland recorded wins over W Lewis, Melloday and Glover, then travelled to London to defeat EBU champ, Joseph, and is riding high on a 10-bout win streak. Britton is looking to rebound after losing the title to Kid on a cuts stoppage. Glover has wins over Walcott, Jackson and CBU Champ Summers following his loss to McFarland. Young Peter Jackson's age is starting to show, as he managed a UD win over Hurley following losses to Glover and Kid. Willie Lewis' SD 10 win over Nelson kept him among the contenders. Mike Sullivan redeemed a poor year (loss to Joseph and a draw with Bartley Connolly) by winning the USBA belt over Kyle Whitney. Mellody followed up losses to McFarland and Joseph with wins over Jimmy Fryer and Harry Lewis. Young Joseph leapt back into the Top 10 on the strength of four wins in five bouts, losing only to McFarland while beating H Lewis, Holberg, Mellody and Sullivan. Gardner scored a TKO win over Gans but suffered a SD loss to Whitney early in the year.

Other Notables: CBU champ Johnny Summers dropped fro #7 last year to #12, and now has a 30-13-2 (16) mark with 658 pp, still within striking distance of the Top 10. Dane **** Nelson dropped two spots to #11 after a SD loss to Willie Lewis. His countryman, Waldemar Holberg, dropped all the way from #6 to #13 after setback losses to Kid and Young Joseph (for the EBU crown) despite wins over aging vets Smith and Matthews. Kyle Whitney is #14 after earning a shot at his first title belt. Aging vet Joe Walcott tumbles from #10 to #15 and is unlikely to return to the top group. (Didn't we say that about Gans last year?)

Prospects: Eddie Shevlin, 13-0 (8) is the top prospect, after racking up UD 10 wins over Connolly and fellow prospect Matt Wells. Wells is 12-1 (1) with Shevlin his only defeat, and he holds a UD 10 win over fellow Brit, Sid Burns. Willie Schaeffer has won four in a row and his record is now 10-0-1 (8). Ted Kid Lewis is 9-0-1 (6) after a draw with Johnny Basham. Not to be outdone, Albert Badoud of France has blasted out 9 TCs for a perfect 9-0 mark, all by KO. The aforementioned Basham stands at 8-0-1 (4).

Retirements: Late in the year, Mysterious Billy Smith, a fixture in the WW Division for over 20 years, hung up the gloves, His career marks:

1891-1911 57-25 (40) WBA Champ on three occasions

Smith went out on a high note with a KO 9 win over fellow vet Joe Walcott. Walcott, Gans and Matty Matthews are all at End career stage and likely to join Smith in retirement in 1912.

Looking Ahead: Irishman Tom McCormick heads the three newcomers to the division in 1912. Britton is set to challenge Gans for the WBA belt, and the fans eagerly await a Britton vs McFarland title contest.
