    Tommy Ryan's thoughts on the difference between (then) modern boxing and the boxing of his own time.

    The two best things about the Jeffries video are when he spits on the ground and the little nod he gives to the director of camera who has obviously just told him he can begin.

    Makes it easier for you to imagine Tommy whispering sweet nothings into your ear?

    Jeffries was supposed to be 330lbs coming into the Johnson fight, no way hes much over 260lbs in that video if that, I smell some BS excuse making

    He was a lot bigger between his retirment and the Johnson fight than he was in that video.

    Look at pictures of him acting as reffere for the Burns Squires fight for example.

    Perhaps Jeffries began to be able to take care of himself better in retirement after the Jack Johnson loss.

    Training footage of prime Jeffries:
