Jim Jeffries v Tyson Fury 15rds?

Don’t think much of Jeffries H2H like a few crazies and he would lose to Fury but this doesn’t make Fury remotely special he has beaten Wilder... and “Beat” Wlad and ducked the rematch wow such talent he has trouble with Journeyman at times despite every physical advantage possible over them special he is not.

 

Totally different game when Jeffries fought. But regardless he’s too outmatched physically, something he wasn’t accustomed to. Jeffries had poor defense too. His nose was broken three times and he held his guard dangerously low. Not a good stance to have against a modern super heavy

 

Well, he faced 6'4 and solid Bob Armstrong and didn't have problems with him. He was usually heavier man, but also fought some taller and rangier fighters than himself.

Modern high guard would not be as effective with small gloves. I don't know if Jeffries had good or bad defense, but his guard is not the reason why he would struggle.

 

You are without a doubt one of the most moronic posters on these boards. Surprised the rest of the board doesn't see you for what you are.

 

Very hard one. Neither ever really faced an opponent like the other, and both fought under very different rule sets. Plus there's only fragments of low quality footage of Jeffries and some training footage. And not even of his best efforts. Guru's only top opponents were Wlad who had developed and refined a style that was good at a certain type of opponent, but not against Fury, while Wilder had less dimensions than a straight line. Jeffries seems to have been much better at adapting and making adjustments than either of them, and Fury hasn't really faced that kind of pressure.

 

I wonder who is the closest opponent for each to compare. Did Fury ever fight good pressure fighter with iron chin who liked going to the body? Did Jeffries ever fought an outboxer who was much taller than him?

 

Well, he was a pressure fighter in an era when fights were longer and more brutal. Small gloves didn't add power but they made facial cuts and injuries even worse.

Can't say if he was good or bad defensively, but he had to do something right. He was never close to be stopped in any of his fight (outside of Johnson one of course).

 

I don't buy that, is this a weigh-in number? Because 6'4 guy with 184 lbs frame would look like a bean pole, Armstrong looks solid in all photos I've seen of him.

 

You see 39 years old fighter, I see an all-time great puncher and boxer who was still in his prime. Look what Fitz did to Sharkey and Ruhlin just before this fight (and no, I don't care that he had a bit of break between these fights).

 

Fury by late ko, smacking Jeffries in the face so often he'd be practically blind.
