    For the last time, why wager with a desperate man, who reneges on bets, changes their poster name and has multiple bans? Give me a good answer.

    I say you'll just re-register with your 5th poster name here and carry on.

    Until then, the entire board knows your full of it. Like I said before, you must have flush handles for ears.

    You are becoming like McVey., picking and choose the worst possible weight, measurements and times on fighter you don't like. Okay, I guess you want soruces


    1 ) " He was massive in size with large arms, shoulders, neck, head, and legs. But, at the same time, he was sinewy, shapely, and muscular. In spite of his huge size, he moved on springy, bouncy legs. He could run 100 yards in a little over ten seconds and high jump over six feet. "

    Doesn't say 11 seconds, but a little over 10. Note the jump, a bit higher that what you report. I've also read 5"10" on the high jump.

    One more source


    2 ) " Jeffries stood 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (1.87 m) tall and weighed 225 pounds (102 kg) in his prime. He could run 100 yards (91 m) in just over ten seconds, and could high jump over 6 feet (180 cm) "

    Believe what you choose. And you know the track shows weren't as good, nor were there staring blocks. If he had them, don't you think the time would be better? Yes or no? Jeffries was not a modern trained track guy. That wasn't his sport

    On Jeffries height, Box rec has one problem. Who ever edits it last is the authority. Jeffries was fully measured by Farmer Burns for the Johnson fight and came out 6'1 1/2" tall. The same hight is repeated in many of his fights tale of the tape.

    I didn't know that Bear And Cub was a noted boxing reference. Deep find!

    And if you are quoting Cox don't include me. Nonsense is just that

    Did not quote Cox in either link. Did you click on the links? I quoted Callis and Wikipedia

    You can't even answer my question. Here let me help you see it.

    For the last time, why wager with a desperate man, who reneges on bets, changes their poster name and has multiple bans? Give me a good answer. You can't.

    I say you'll just re-register with your 5th poster name here and carry on.

    Some sources suggest that he had a warm up exhibition with Sam Berger, who was the Audley Harrison of his day.
