Reading this endlessly suspenseful saga, here om StrippersGuide, I became overwhelmed by curiosity about who would win. Then one day, I realised that the fight had already happened, 112 years ago! So I looked it up, and now I know. But I will not reveal it here, in case anybody's laying bets.

Since I was wondering, I looked it up. Jack Johnson had "Li'l Artha" as one of his nicknames, inspired by his middle name which was Arthur. Cartoonist Tad Dorgan gave him that nickname.
