Prime Jim J. Jefferies .Vs. Jack Johnson

No.

 

I certainly don't think he would be at a power or strength disadvantage in his prime. And I think he was actually taller than Johnson.

However, as someone stated above, Johnson had the potion to beat Jeffries much like Willard had the right assets to beat a not 100% Johnson.

 

No, Johnson would still beat him.

 

Johnson would always be more skillfull. Johnsons defense and countering were made to beat on Jeffries

 

Johnson would still beat him.

 

Think you guys are writting Jefferies off in this prime for prime match, Jeff did lasted 15 rounds vs Jack Johnson, and took a beating. I think a prime Jeff does ten times better imo. It would be a LOT closer than the one that took place on July 4th 1910, and I think it can do either way. I do know under the rules of the day, it will be a clicfest type of fight, and who gets the better of the clichs will wear the other guy down.

 

Johnson would win if his stamina held.

50-50

 

And Johnson wasn't more than 5 lbs heavier than Choynski at the time.:roll:

 

Nar , Johnson wiins it , too great at this weight imo, but Jeffries was a great HW aswell, Johnson though

 

now i'm waffling. it would be closer, at least.

 

photos show 5'11 fitzimmons to be just as tall if not TALLER than jeffries. I think jeff is closer to 6'0 than 6'2.


take a look
