Jeffries was never really presented as having overwhelming power though. Hes just a really big guy for the period. Hes not Fitz, Goddard, Hanrahan...
The late 30s and early 40s problem is the top guys retiring quickly in their 20s. Which disguises its true strength which is a less top heavy...
He really wasn't. Managers got him a belt, 10 title defenses, the KO rate record and snuck him into a conversation with Ali, Louis, Holmes and...
Its 4 certain somebodys fault. Parker got oppurtunities Kabayel didn't. He won some and he lost some. He should not be elevated because of it....
