    Only one was of any quality.Jeffries never beat any other quality big men so your point fails dismally .
    Munroe was 208lbs as Pollack says in his Jeffries book.With ,"most of his weight below the waist".
    San Fan Conical? Is this another abortive attempt at humour?
    The fight lost money, as well it should have it was a farce!

    Once again there were no quality big men Jeffries size to fight. Many other champions never beat a top guy Jeffries size either. Your double standards are acting up again...

    Adam Pollack is mistaken, the San Fran Chronicle was there and reported in detail. They said 215 pounds for Munroe.

    A farce would be most of Jack Johnson's title defenses, Munroe at the time had a decent record and was only blown out by Jeffries.

    Honestly I'm not sure, leaning in favour of Wills due to his height and significant reach alongside overall savyness. I also presume he has the strength to match Jeffries, or at least tame him to some extent.
