In the annals of championship boxing history, I believe this to be a barnburner if ever there was one ! We have lineal champ who ktfo'd the best of his time in cussing Fitzimmons etc vs the tough and powerful heavyweight juggernaut, Deontay Wilder You have to give speed, power, length,reach to Wilder while Jeffries may have a bit more heart and toughness, and can crack himself This may come down to chin, and I do rate Jeffries a nick higher in that department. Who you got in this one?
Jeffries breaks Wilders face and gets rid of him in 3 rounds. The alive version of Jim treats chicken legs even worse.
What's with these Wilder vs historical figures threads lately? Maybe someone should start a discussion about Wilder vs Kleomedes of Astypalaia from 492 BC http://ancientolympics.arts.kuleuven.be/eng/TP003EN.html I have Kleomedes winning by murder. The oracle of Delphi probably consults Wilder to duck him though and Wilder fights some can from Persia instead.
