“Wolgast has been comparing his record and mine and of course he has given himself the best of it. Why, I have fought men that this so-called champion has run away from. I went against big Packey McFarland and it is common talk in New York that Wolgast could not be dragged into a ring with McFarland on any pretense whatever. Then take this ‘Knockout’ Brown. I offered him a thousand dollars to meet me in any kind of a boxing match and he refused.”
