    Jeffries. And I base that on, because I feel like it. I'll take Jeff in a whiskey-drinking contest also

    Or you may think the styles suit Lyle and take away and think Lyle showed his qualities in nearly KO'ing Foreman and being ahead on the scorecards against Ali. Lyle has handspeed advantages, matches Jeffries for size and strength and has a target that could well be easy for him to tee off on. This is new territory for Jeffries

    the fact that lyle is bigger than 12st would be a rarity for mr jeff too.

    Just finished reading a Jeffries book this week. Jeffries was a big bugger for his time but I'm not sure who he fought that was less than 12st, except maybe Fitz.

    185lbs can go a long way in a man of 5' 8''.
