CONTROL VS BOXERS - Change to 11. He actually did better against boxers such as Corbett and Fitzsimmons as he didnt give them time to set. think Frazier. This is often the way with swarmers.
DJ, hate to point this out, but Fitz had very little trouble with Sharkey in two fights. Choynski gave him lots of problems. In their first encounter, Sharkey got the decision because he was still standing after 8 rounds. In the second, Choynski was boxing his ears off when Sharkey used several illegal tactics including throwing Joe to the mat. He should've been DQ'd. Sharkey was a wild, wide-open brawler who liked guys to come right at him. He lost to Jeffries because Jeff was bigger and stronger and a slightly better boxer.
