    This is why there’s no film of Greb.

    He fought in color but they could only film black and white in his day.

    Exactly.
    Some good amount of power could keep Frazier busy, so who knows. But I doubt Jeffries got that.

    Ahhh, so that's why no footage. If only they'd have actually fought in black and white. Damn!!!

    Wo do have some footage of prime Jeffries against Ruhlin. Though Ruhlin was already hurt, we can find some parts of Jeffries style there (reliance on left hook, quickness).

    Definitely not, Frazier is one of the most overrated punchers of all time. Fitzsimmons, Sharkey and Ruhlin were all bigger punchers than Frazier.
