JOE FRAZIER V JAMES J JEFFRIES?

Impossible to say with any certainty since we do not have clear film of Jeffries. Certainly what we do have looked at critically he looks very good. We do know Jeff was considered an ATG for many decades. If I had to pick a winner I would go with Jeffries as a prime extremely conditioned two handed puncher. I would think Jeffries could keep Joe at bey with his great strength.

 

Yep! Just wondering why.

I like that analysis

 

Let's just be consistent and assume he hit harder than George.

 

this would be like the stander fight

 

Did Jeffries do any of That? Or were you reading a comic about him.

Stories of Jeffries athletic feats do get embellished somewhat, but even if we just go with what was witnessed by reporters, we are obviously looking at an exceptionally strong heavyweight.

For example one part of his training camp, was that he used to lift and moved around a 300lb bag of sand.

He was clearly more George Foreman than Joe Frazier in terms of physical strength.

 

That's the problem when they about talk about his great strength.How effectively was it applied?We know he laid on Corbett and Fitzsimmons in the clinches using his extra weight to tire them, but we have no recorded instances of him manhandling them.

 

Hero worship that disqualifies anyone who repeats it of being a serious credible judge .

 

Its an exaggeration of some of the unverified myths that cling to Jeffries name.

 

Certainly not at 37 and 39,coming out of extended retirements.
