Choynski--Jeffries also said Choynski hit him harder than anyone. Interesting. Johnson and Sharkey--both also said Jeffries was the greatest...
----------------------------------------------------------- Braddock and Uzcudun--what type of chins these men had is a mute point as Baer did...
1--Baer and Jeffries--I take you agree with me that Jeff was probably the "bigger" man. 2--Norton, Foreman, Shavers, Stander, Quarry, Garcia,...
Yes, and the opponent was probably a soldier, not a professional. I wouldn't call this taunting. Louis was just putting on a show for the troops.
"Baer was bigger than Jeffries" was he? Baer was taller, but Jeffries generally weighed more at the same age.
"Baer is probably a much bigger stronger (and younger?) man than the men Jeffries was accustumed to take on." And also probably not as fast or...
"badly cut eye" Fair enough, but Baer didn't put Galento down either. Galento claimed a broken hand, apparently, but definitely had a badly cut...
1--I don't know why an ATG taking 15 rounds in blistering heat to ko a Jeffries who had been off for 6 years is "with ease." Jeff lasted longer in...
1--Uzcudun--I don't have any idea who was the tougher between Uzcudun and Jeffries. Both were known to be able to take it. The question is...
My take is Dempsey likely would have been too much for the Wills of 1924 or later. The Wills of 1920 or 1921 might well be a different matter,...
"Braddock was more dangerous than anybody Jeffries faced" This is sort of a circular argument. Braddock moved out of the "bum of the month club"...
"Baer likely fought the overall tougher competition" But he lost to a lot of them. Jeffries retired undefeated and only lost in his comeback fight.
I think Baer might well have been the bigger puncher, but what is the actual evidence that Baer had the better chin? Jeffries was never off his...
I think Conn outspeeds Baer. Baer has the puncher's chance, but I like Conn to win on points.
I go with Cribb. Over Sullivan for the reason alluded to by cross_trainer. Cribb fought all the available challengers.
