    AH, I see Johnson who lost too many lesser men, could get past Wilder's jab, even though a good 160-165 jabber out jabbed him with significantly less reach and power and do what with Wilder with his mediocre power?

    I actually think Dempsey whacks out Wilder, same with Marciano ( though it would not be an easy for fight for Rocky )

    And so would Jeffries, who could fight low making it difficult for a tall person to reach him, and had a nice slip and duck type of defense, combined with good footwork and more than enough power to stop Wilder, who has the legs of a newborn deer and certifiable glass around hhis chin. Wilder is set for his 5th title defense and still has not fought a top ten ranked opponent in his title matches.

    Perhaps your right. As a senior citizen, you don't have any idols. You've either forgotten about them, or become bitter.

    Jeffries no doubt was an ATG. Heck he was for 80 years listed as an ATG hwt champion. I will alway choose a ATG hwt champion in a bout vs an unproven contender.

    That being said Jeffries did receive flack in his own time regarding the size of his contenders. JL Sullivan wrote a scathing article where he belittled Jeffries for fighting middleweights.

    Jim wouldnt have fought hwc wilder
    The mintue wilder enter the ring jim would run like hell and call the cops. If little arthur beat the sh.t out of him hwc wilder would be in jail for murder.

    Nothing wrong with your criteria,I'd just like to point out that against prime superheavyweights with power,Jeffries was just as unproven in fact more so!

    Wilder barely beat Sconiers.

    He is well within the range of Jeffries to lay out cold.
