    Anything for or against what they're talking about informationwise I mean? They're all from the same guy's channel I noticed.

    There was a poll of historians in the 50's. Jeffries came out #1. Fighters of the time such as Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Burns, Johnson, Langford, and Dempsey all considered Jeffries to be the best. Jeffries problem is lack of film viewable film in his prime.

    The only clear film of him is his training which he shows quick feet, fast hands, good agility / coordination, good head movement, and strength in the clinches.

    Below is about half of the training for youtube.

    Will bump for you but I have no valuable input. Except that the layout of the videos is hilariously old-timey. :lol:

    Is there the slight possibility of having either a Jeffries or Johnson thread without Mendoza and mcvey?

    It´s about you two ending up in a girlfight again, erasing the chance of any serious discussion.

    Seems to me that YOU are trying to prevent such a thing.

    If not for me Mcvey would have little reason to live or post here :)

    I think the testimonials of the time are enough to prove that Jeffries was a great fighter, and great athlete, and his career need no excuses for losses, or being knocked down by super middle weights.
