    I will add the usual caveats, but I am going to say Jeffries under either ruleset.

    Jeffries was a natural 220 pounder, and a standout natural talent for the weight.

    Having said that, I happen to think that Beterbiev could have had success well north of 175, if he had chosen to go down that path.

    Beterbiev wins with one hand tied behind his back.
