    The distance might be as important as the talent
    .
    Wills has much the better record, Willard didn't really put his heart and soul into the game. For Jess to have a realistic chance he would have to be as in shape and motivated as he was in Havana, even then a prime Wills probably outboxes him imo.

    Yeah, and he would have beaten Dempsey too.

    A bold statement.

    I was much more fluent in my knowledge of this era when I last posted on this thread so I'm gonna stand by what I said previously.

    Well, I think Harry could have done the trick.

    I am not saying that he couldn’t, but why do you think that?

    His experience, especially battling Sam Langford, got him a trick or two to deal with Jack.
