"The term "world's champion" is often a misnomer. A few years ago Zbyszko, the great Polish champion who twice won the so-called world's championship by vanquishing the best wrestlers in America, was offered ten thousand dollars to go to Bombay and wrestle Gama, the champion of India. Although few people had ever heard of Gama, who was a Jew turned Mohammedan, Zbyszko was amazed when he faced him across the ring. He saw a man fifty-five years old who was only five feet seven inches tall and weighed two hundred and sixty pounds. The man had not the faintest ripple of fat on his body. The bout was all over in eight seconds and later the surprised Zbyszko said it was like wrestling some wild animal, and that he felt if he got up and tried to fight back he would be killed in the ring. Gama was urged to come to America but refused, supremely indifferent to the fact that we had then at least four "world's champions" in the United States."
