    Despite being in his mid 40s here, he still looks in good enough shape to give the young guns a stern test " Come and have a go if you think you're tough enough"

    Still looks ripped...he was one of the most underrated punchers of all time.
    He knocked Johnson faster than anyone and beat the **** out of Jeffries.Only thing he lacked were skills and good chin.

    No actually he wasnt.Choynski was 5 feet 11inches and usually under 180lbs,Johnson was 6 feet and a quarter inch and 208lbs in perfect shape.

    Lol, he definitely does!
    Can imagine some arrogant, drunk out of his skull, having a pop at him and Joe cracking him one and laying him out.

    They fought once, where the police barred Jeffries from using his weight on the inside, and it was a draw, with Jeffries scoring the only knock down.

    Jeffries, who was rushed along quite quickly, took on the experienced ring genius in Joe Choynski. Granted, Choynski was giving up almost fifty pounds in weight, but Choyinski used his quicker feet and wiser mind to his advantage as he stayed away from Jeffries's power and was able to score on his own. Although Jeff claims he dropped Choynski with a left hook to the neck, he also claims that Joe scored once with a right that knocked his lower lip between his front two teeth, an injury which required a lip incision to relieve Jeff of the pain. Jeffries states that was the hardest punch he's ever taken. Some disagreed with the decision, believing that Jeffries did enough forcing to earn the nod, but Joe was so impressive in the science he displayed in the ring that the referee gave him part of the honors in ruling the affair a draw.
