    We all know the story.
    There is a pic of it somewhere but I can't find it.
    Can someone help?

    I think it was in an old BI mag ,looked like a young cow ,or big calf ,not the Buddy Baer,"Quo Vadis" variety. Still it must have been substantially heavy.

    We know how it went down when he fought the Real Deal. Now it's time for the Real Veal.

    It is fairly reliably reported that James Jeffries lifted a large steer on to the back of a cart.

    That was a publicity stunt photo. Foreman admitted that there were two guys off to the side helping him hoist that cow.
