His fame is world-wide, his popularity second to that of no other American. From a tour of Australia he has returned with the cheers of strangers ringing in his ears and their money jingling in his pockets. Peter Jackson, a native Porto Rican, who has come to America with the championship of Australia, wrested from Tom Lees after thirty hard rounds, challenges, and for reply is reminded that John L. Sullivan is not fighting negroes. No one questions Sullivan's fearlessness, none questions his invincibility.! Haughty when occasion seems to demand, proudfully dignified when the rating of his profession is at stake, he is possessed at other and at most times with the spirit of genuine democracy/an attribute.that has endeared him to a million Americans and morej It is the year 1892, and, unsuspected, John L. Sullivan's Waterloo is prepared for him. At the apex of his career, the crown is to be snatched from his brow, his prosperity cut short! A former bank clerk, a trim-cut athlete from the Pacific seaboard, who wears his hair in a luxurious pompadour, a young fellow of twenty-six years, weighing about 185 pounds and standing an inch taller than six feet, is rising to fistic prominence.

Download or read book James J Corbett written by Armond Fields and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he died in 1933, James J. "Gentleman Jim" Corbett was honored by two distinguished groups of people: the professional boxing public, who celebrated him as America's greatest boxing champion, and the world of popular theater admirers, who revered him as one of Broadway's top vaudeville headliners. Corbett was uniquely instrumental in making boxing and popular theater both justifiable commercial enterprises, to be enjoyed by all classes of people. He became America's first national sports hero and went on to formulate the theater world's star system. This is the first definitive biography of the man who knocked out heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan, and who also knocked out audiences who flocked to see him in vaudeville and silent pictures. The focus herein is on the real man, the influences on his life, and the social and commercial environment within which he functioned. The author reveals that Corbett was a complex, driven, enigmatic man whose dedicated participation in popular entertainment changed American social values and mores, and at the same time reinvented the notion of a national hero.
