9. Young Peter Jackson 48-13-3 (33) (658) (-5)
10. Dick Nelson 25-10-3 (17) (658) (+1)

Comments: The unbeaten McFarland has a higher Perf Pts number than Britton, the WBA champ. Gans, who was the champ this time in 1912, retired after losing the belt to Britton. Of the fighters listed, obviously Ted Kid Lewis is at Pre, Young Peter Jackson is at Post and Mellody hits Post for his first fight in 1913, his RL retirement year -- all the others are at Prime. Britton went 3-0 in the year, but his top challenger, McFarland, extended his consecutive win streak to 15 by beating Jimmy Gardner and Matt Wells in addition to the three NABF title defenses (see above post) to go 5-0 for the year. Mike Sullivan, the USBA champ, has now won four in a row. Willie Lewis went 4-1, stumbling only versus Sullivan and defeating Young Joseph, Glover, Whitney and Wells. Mellody was 3-1 for the year, besting Jackson, Clabby and McCloskey before the title bout loss to Britton. Dixie Kid was upset by Hurley, but did down Graves, Nelson and Shevlin. Jimmy Gardner was 2-1 in 1912, beating Clabby, Harry Lewis (TKO 2) but losing to McFarland. Losses to W Lewis and Sullivan dropped Glover in the rankings. Ted Kid Lewis is a bright new star, turning in a 7-0-1 record in a very active 1912: wins over Howell, Alberts, Matthews, Burns, Holberg plus a draw for the CBU belt. Jackson went 2-2, slipped further and may no longer be a factor now he is past his prime. Dane Dick Nelson moved back into the top 10 with a win over fellow Dane, Waldemar Holberg.

Other Notables: Eddie Shevlin debuts at #11 -- he was off to perfect 15-0 start but derailed with two losses to Britton and Dixie Kid -- perhaps some easier opposition is in order to facilitate a move into the Top 10. Summers, holder of the CBU belt, checks in at #13 wiht a 32-14-3 (16) mark and 606 pp. Right behind him at #14 is Young Joseph, whose record stands at 32-15-2 (13) with 592; Joseph dropped five spots, out of the Top 10, after suffering a TKO loss to Glover. Frenchman Albert Badoud debuts at #18 with a 13-2 (12) record, winning overBurns, Kelly and Evernden but losing to Kid Lewis and Joseph (the latter for the EBU belt). Matt Wells, the GBU titleholder, is #19 at 15-5 (1) and 520 pp, making 20 fighters at 500 pp and above in this talent-laden division. Just outside the Top 20 at #21 is another youngster, Jimmy Fryer, whose record is now 14-4 (8).

Prospects: Johnny Basham of the UK and Willie Schaeffer have identical 12-1-1 marks, Schaeffer has more KO wins (10 to Basham's 6). Basham defeated fellow prospect Tommy Howell but loss to Johnny Alberts (KO 6). Schaeffer's only loss havs been to Shevlin. Spike Kelly has compiled a 11-3 (7) mark. Art Magirl was a perfect 8-0 (8) when he was TKO'd on cuts by a TC for his first loss. Irishman Tom McCormick (whom I created) is now 6-0 (2) and Soldier Bartfield is 5-0 (3) -- all these wins coming against TCs.

Retirements: Three retirements and they were all former WBA champions. Career marks:

Joe Gans (USA) 1891-1912 62-14 (36) WBA LW and WW Champ
Joe Walcott (USA) 1890-1912 63-24-2 (21) WBA Champ
Matty Matthews (USA) 1894-1912 37-30-2 (15) WBA Champ

Looking Ahead: Certainly the most awaited match-up here would be between Britton and McFarland for the WBA title belt. Some of the younger guys who debuted in the rankings this time are in need of more experience before moving up to the next level, but Ted Kid Lewis could be in position to win a title (such as the GBU belt) soon. Newcomers for 1913 are Canadian Frank Barrieau, Aussie Tommy Uren and American Phinney Boyle.
