Coming to a Consensus on the P4P Hardest Puncher Ever

Jeffries had 18months to get down to weight for the Johnson fight and he was publicly weighed when he came back from a trip to a health spar in Carlsbad in October 1909, he scaled 230lbs.

 

Pounds and ounces are still used in the US where the fight took place.

 

I'm trying very hard to be civil to you here,but you are making it very difficult.
The Ruhlin draw was considered a just one by the contemporary newspapers.

Jeffries was heavier for both the Munro and Finnegan fights than he was for the Johnson one.
1900-04-06 : James J. Jeffries 240 lbs beat John Finnegan 180 lbs by KO at 0:55 in round 1 of 10


Jeffries didn't train seriously for Munro and entered the ring in soft condition.

Don’t feed the trolls bro! Especially illiterate ones

 

The UK uses Stones [14lbs ,]

He was 230lbs when he came back from Carlsbad ,which was then in what was called Bohemia.In other words he was just 4 lbs over the weight he would be for the fight and he had another 7 months to train in.So no," fast shrink"

 

No, he was 240lbs for the Finnegan fight ,and estimated between 230 &235lbs for the Munro fight,the Finnegan fight was 10 years before he fought Johnson, the Munro fight 6 years before it.
Corbett was 35lbs lighter then Jeffries for their first fight, and 30lbs lighter for their second.

 

Archie Moore needs to be in consideration ...most ko's of any well known, all time boxer.

 

Lol! Based on a single quote? This is a strange criteria indeed

 

Quite a few are over lesser lights though.
eg 38 with either losing records or debutees.

 

Not actually true.

Currently on Boxrec, Billy Bird has the most at 138.

 

I think the poster meant that Moore had more KOs than any other well known, all time great boxer (not that it was a well known fact that he had the record number of KOs.)

 

I said among well known boxers. Billy Bird is not exactly a household name.
