I'm sure they would have been blown away by that completely ineffective combo, which mostly just missed.
Yeah here we go," I don't have time" . How was the Ruhlin that Fitzsimmons had half killed when he fought Jeffries and retired on his feet? You told us Jeffries has some quick kayos I proved they were all over 3rdraters and old men Want to debate that fact? You made this silly thread to lick Jeffries ass yet again, and try and claim he was some monster puncher.he wasn't,and his results emphatically show it!
Jeffries manager climbed up on the ring apron, threw his trainer Tommy Ryan out of the corner and told Jeffries he had to ko Corbett or lose his title.Thats how competitive it was!
No evidence to support this bull****. Jeffries scaled 210= Corbett 2 219 = Fitz 2 218=Ruhlin2 218= Corbett 1 218 =Sharkey 2 210= Fitz 1 Chuvalo scaled 216 = Ali 2 208=Patterson 212 =DeJohn 217=Frazier 217=Quarry 212=Folley 215=Bonavena Nothing in it, and they were both 6 foot!
He was winning the rounds from the 16th or so onwards, however, and scored a knock down in the 19th, if I remember right. By the end Corbett was pretty much just running away. The tide turned long before Corbett was stopped.
I watched from the 58 second mark, which was him getting up, so I thought you meant after that Watching the earlier one, Jeffries doesn't throw any longer combos in the little footage we have of him. The old cameras make it a lot of guess work, but I don't see the quickness of that combo looking beyond Jeffries' hand speed
Dunno, he seems to have won some of the first 10 rounds, atleast by some reports. 70's said until Jeffries knocked him out anyway, not until the 16.
If you watch Jeffries bout with Ruhlin he appears to throw a triple left hook. Camera technology is so poor it’s tough to make out fine details. If you ignore first hand accounts which I suggest you don’t we have very little to allow us to determine Jeffries greatness.
For those of you who don't know, there was an older guy who used to post here until a couple months ago who was a seemingly inexhaustible fund of primary source knowledge, often apparently off the top of his head, and as I recall he once supplied what appeared to me pretty reliable accounts of Jeffries' PSI test performance, along with Fitz and Sam McVey. I think Jeffries' score was supposed to be 1150 and Fitz 1050 (?!? holy **** if true) and McVey was slightly higher than Jeffries.
