    P4P it's definitely Nelson to me. Jeffries is among the best ever at his division though and had he continued to fight after Munroe win, he could have become candidate for top 5.

    For whatever it is worth, almost everybody at the time would have said Jeffries.

    One guy hit much harder, was more athletic and lost far less frequently.

    Jeffries easily.
