    Jeffries training program seems very tough.
    I found this on the net.

    Jeffries' preparation for his title winning effort over Fitzsimmons.

    "For this fight he ran some 14 miles in the morning, alternating between a jog and a 100-yard sprint, without stopping to walk or rest and finishing the run within two hours. In the afternoon, he played three games of handball, punched the bag for 20 or 25 minutes straight, and skipped rope 1,500 to 2,500 times. He would then box from 12 to 16 rounds, and 'wrestle around' or toss an 18-pound medicine ball."

    Quite the ridiculous notion. 'Modern training techniques', I'll have you know.

    I have little doubt that prime Jeffries was in far better boxing condition than AJ or Wilder

    Aj and Wilder are not gifted in the stamina game.

    Although AJ seems to be improving.

    Jeffries has amazing stamina. Very rare he could fight 25 rounds hard in a non air-conditioned arena or outdoors.
    He also had a 300-pound heavy bag to train with...full of sand.

    He was reportedly a freak but i doubt that he did so every day. Thats just too much.
