You didn't have to "arrange" for them to lose. They even did it when nobody wanted them to. In other words, they were rocking horses and a dozen blokes had set them to music long before they ever heard of Camera.

This outburst is occasioned by a desire to set forth a number of things that, contrary to the general pattern, I happen to think are true. So why not one more, by way of comment on the story that the oaf couldn't read or write?

Among other things, it was said that the guy was just a huge hoax throughout his few years of fighting and even became heavyweight champion of the world while under the delusion that he was an athlete instead of an apparition, and that the men he beat were overcome by his outstanding skill, instead of their own mirth. Rut the greatest delusion of all was that Camera's ability was wholly a delusion. Camera was neither a very good fighter nor very bad. Everybody though Sharkey was as good as he wanted to he, didn't they? They think now that Schmeling is the uncrowned champion, don't they? Well, if Camera only had to fight Sharkey, he'd still be heavyweight champion of the world and even when absolutely done as a fighter.

And you can't hurt the guy in the body.

It was only the rough-toss boys like Max Bear and Leroy llaynes could and did make a sucker of the guy. They didn't stand off and feint with him; it was almost impossible to out-feint the fellow as Sharkey, if he's frank, will tell you to this day.
