I am coming back to Am erica to meet the best men you have. ik like to fight and want to fight, and am ready to fight just as often as you find a good opponent." Dundee: '-'I will beat Criqui. No man my weight can win from me. I never could ' get Benny Leonard to make -weight for me or go a decision at the title weight so why should I fear Criqui. Out door training has done wonder3 for me. I was never better, fast er or stronger, : and best of all. my hands are in great condition. For a long time I had trouble with my right hand, but it is as good as ever now. ' I will not say what I am going to do to Criqui. or what round I will stop him in, but I will say that I will beat him.- I never had more : confi dence.
