    It has been mentioned before. Jeffries spared with Dunkhorst several times. This is known. He also finished him. It was not a scheduled fight. If you see the unrecorded Jeffries thread, by all means bump it. Thanks.

    Your problem is your a myopic man who relies on books. Adam doesn't know the names of the men that Jeffries sparred with in the UK, but we know it happened. See my point? Likely not!

    I will bet you ( Even though you back out or weasel out of
    things ) that I can produce at the very least dates of when they sparred.


    Your lame move, and pay attention to what I wrote.

    At times it looked like Lewis had two left feet when he was moving around the ring. It was reminiscent of Bambi on ice at times, that is how awkward he could get on his legs. His hand speed was slow also.

    Lennox?

    I think you are going a little over board when comparing him to Bambi on ice :bbb

    I am not saying Lewis was blindingly fast, just that he was very fast for a big dude.

    I don't think he was fast even for a big man. He was clumsy looking on his legs and was slow of foot. The name Lennox and the word quick or fast do not go together.

    Quickness and good foot work are not what made Lewis effective.

    No there is not "limited evidence /proof".
    There is ZERO evidence / proof that these fights ever occurred.
    Adam' s research is second to none ,it it thorough, painstaking and exhaustive and he has come up with nothing to suggest these fights happened,or that Jeffries ever ko'd Dunkhorst ,and he pm'd me a couple of days ago.Mendoza will not produce anything to back up his statement because it is a fabricated lie from start to finish. I've been waiting over a week for his reply. No primary sourced response will be forthcoming, just as the other lies he posts are never backed up with proof simply because they are just that, deliberate lies.

    How does $500 sound? You produce a primary source that Jeffries ko'd Ed Dunkhorst,[not his brother Jack billed as Dunkhorst, a scam they pulled off in the UK].Go for it!

    YOU STATED JEFFRIES KO'D DUNKHORST PRODUCE A PRIMARY SOURCE THAT PROVES IT.

    It doesn't matter. I've show you links before where information was given. You reject what you choose. :lol::

    You asked for where Johnson face was makers up by Ketchel. I show you point blank.... you deny!:lol::

    You ask where Jeffries won more than one round vs Johnson. I show you point blank in multiple links. You Deny. :lol::lol::lol:

    Notice a pattern here?:hi:

    It is fact the two sparred many times. I offered you this bet and you decline. I have that info handy. Instead you ask for something that is not easily found. And I have read before Jeffries ended it in 3.

    I might try something for fun one day and state the opposite of what happened only to see a dolt like yourself take the correct position by accident.

    PS: If Adam says he does not know, it means just that. I don't want to speak for him, but there lots of things he doesn't know here same as everyone else.

    Bottom line
    You have been caught out in another lie.
    If you have a primary source that shows Jeffries stopped Dunkhorst then produce it NOW!

    The rest of your post is as usual unintelligible.

    I'm not so sure about people picking Willard for hand speed. Simply looking at the Johnson KO shows me enough to consider this is not true. Looks like he has a lot of snap in the final right hand and it was in the 26th round. Also Old and Young Foreman had good foot movement, not necessarily speed. Cooper fight would be a good example of this.
