    Could the amateurish Jeffries even dent today's heavyweight scene?

    Is there any greater condemnation of the relative heavyweight talent from the early 1900's as compared to today than that Jeffries would certainly lose this fight?

    Can you envision Tom Sharkey lasting any distance, let alone 25 rounds, with Mitchell?

    Case closed.

    You don't bring resumes into the ring. You bring skills and talent.

    How would a Seth Mitchell do if his opponents were an old ass Peter Jackson, a midget off the docks, or a geriatric freckled light heavy?

    good point. you want my honest opinion, he loses to all but the size difference against choynski might make it interesting. actually, considering jackson's age and tuberculosis who knows how badly he performs.

    I get the point you're trying to make Seamus, but Mitchell though big and strong, hasn't shown me the kind of intangibles that we need to see before even entertaining the idea.

    I just wish people would appreciate what fighters did in their own era and leave it there.

    Jeffries at least has some form at the top level of his times.
    Mitchell is as yet an unknown commodity.
