What do you fellas think about these Jim Jeffries videos on youtube?

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.

 

Deleted.

 

:deal

 

Post deleted to placate Bohdi

 

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

 

I'll go back and erase my posts ,how's that , but just before I do ,can you point out any inaccuracies ,lies ,falsehoods in it?

 

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

 

Good reading McVey.. very good balance.

 

I won't post in this thread, but will of course look forward to your own insightful contributions.
Happy?

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl


Dammit, Bodhi. This was going places. I only clicked to see it go places with those two, in the first place. :twisted:

 

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.

 

Come on. You guys both enjoy this. Admit it. :yep
