    Jack Twin Sullivan is a better HW H2H then John L. By a lot.

    Probably the best H2H heavyweight before Dempsey.

    Easily. The extensive high quality footage that we have access to, proves this beyond the shadow of a doubt.

    Astute analysis, Seamus. It's as close as we can get to the truth of the matter.
