    evander tko beyond 5 is the obvious answer but i also see it possible that he can hurt evander enough to slow the offence down and survive longer if he takes chances that evander usually gives. I usually assume pre 1900 guys have an advantage inside and clinching but evander's good there and i forgot exactly how jeffries is thought of there.

    When there is no sure answer in an athletic contest, I always pick the black guy.

    Holyfield within five. Any heavy pre Jack Dempsey,with the exception of Jack Johnson,would n't beat the guys from the 1920s onwards.
