Jeffries v Walcott Computer Fight

If Walcott was moved at Jeffries pace, he'd lose a higher percentage of his fights, and might have been retired by his 20th fight.

Jeffries fought top competition pretty much right out of the gate. He never lost until a comeback 6 years removed from the ring.

His ascension to the top is as fast or faster than anyone's, and there is a legitimate debate as to how many boxing matches he had. It's likely more than what is recorded, and this is going on reported KO's alone where the fight reports have not been tracked down.

Most historians who lived from 1890's to 1950's view Jeffries competition ( Fitzsimmons and Corbett ) as better than Walcott and just about all of them say Jeffries was better. They were there. You were not.

 

Don't forget fighting Elmer (Violent) Ray twice and the streaking Joe Baksi. Walcott's resume is far more impressive and diverse than anything Jeff ever saw.

 

You really are dense. I can list a dozen that Rate Fitzsimmons or Corbett higher than Walcott.

It seems when you're backed into a wall, you ask to produce soemthing. When I have it and post it here, you lose for the 199th time and simply reload.

You are beginning to bore me. Like I said you say prove it like the amateur you are and just hope it's either not on the web or me don't have it.

You are very weak. Just a few lists from people who rate Jeffries Competition above Wlacott.

It's rare to find Walcott in the top 20.

I could list several more. Point proved. I see Corbett and Fitz's Name. Walcott MIA! Go back to pre-K.

 

over 15 i'd pick walcott 62/38. jeffries was greater but walcott should have an advantage at long/mid range imo.

 

I'll settle this. Jeffries KO's him in 4
