    You forget to mention he was a green super middle himself.
    Also that Johnson,Jeffries,Fitzsimmons,Sharkey,and Corbett all picked him as the hardest puncher they met.

    Have you ever made a post worth sh*t? I ask because I've never seen one.

    You talking about Langford?

    I was talking about the original Joe Walcott.

    Deontay Wilder is too skinny he was 226.25 pounds against Arreola.A 6'7" full-time trained man and weighed
    only 226.25. lbs... This guy is a beanpole with two chicken legs.At least Jeffries looked like a strong guy with well proportioned body.

    Which fighter is the most muscularly aesthetically pleasing does not determine the out come of a fight.

    No ,I'm talking about the weight category that Johnson fitted into when he was topped by Choynski.I know you were referring to the," Barbados Demon".

    I hope you don't believe the featherfisted heavyweight nobody Adamek is/was a great and significant heavyweight fighter.

    I never said this( I hope you aren't schizophrenic) but a well-trained,muscular body can "help" a fighter.

    Wilder is just too unproven for me, that being said so is Jeffries.

    The way Szpilka fought Wilder up close before being caught leads me to believe Jeffries could have significant success but to what degree I'm not sure.

    A cop out is saying Jeffries is an ATG. A cop out is saying Wilder is too big.

    I still can't make my mind up with this.

    You didn't say it but you implied it,with your post.

    "Deontay Wilder is too skinny he was 226.25 pounds against Arreola.A 6'7" full-time trained man and weighed
    only 226.25. lbs... This guy is a beanpole with two chicken legs.At least Jeffries looked like a strong guy with well proportioned body".



    Wilder does not have a well- trained muscular body?
    BTW Wilder scaled :
    228.75lbs for Szpilka
    228.75lbs for Duhaupas
    229lbs for Molina

    I never said or implied that, I compared their respective sizes and my conclusion was the correct one.
    Adamek routinely weighed in the mid 220's
    Adamek has a 55% KO record, very respectable compared to Jeffries67% especially since the last 16 of his opponents have been big heavyweights whereas Jeffries never stopped a quality heavyweight of 200lbs plus,and his best wins are over 2 aging, coming out of retirement super middles and a5'8"185lbs Sharkey .

    This is your nonsensical post.

    "Deontay Wilder is too skinny he was 226.25 pounds against Arreola.A 6'7" full-time trained man and weighed

    All of which proves nothing.

    No, on the contrary... we should look at claims about the oldtimers' ability/exploits with critical eyes. Too much nonsense has been passed down over the years... where we should ask ourselves: Is it even likely, that this could be true?

    I think Jeffries could get inside and that he could land on Wilder. Deontay has woeful footwork.

    I think he has the power to put him on his ass.

    I think that Jeffries can take Wilder's punches better than Wilder can take his.

    And finally: If Wilder sat around doing nothing against Jeffries like he did against Washington, Jeffries would punch a hole through him.
