    Oh do you? Is that the same as it being common for corners to have oxygen ? You named ONE,give us a few more.

    Do you have source for that? (I'm not doubting you, just curious.) Jimmy Jacobs says he's 212 in his voiceover narration of the film. (But he also says Jeffries dropped from a high of 333 to 226 just before the fight, which I recall you also dispute.)

    lol at adding to Jeffries sprint time because he ran in antiquated settings.

    Reporter: "So the tracks, the shoes, it makes a big difference?"
    De Grasse: "Yeah, I think it makes a really really big difference."

    Adam Pollack's book on Johnson.Nat Fleischer's book The Heavyweight Championship,Papa Jack by Randy Roberts too I think,and Box Rec. Pollack believes Jeffries came down from around 280lbs I believe, and he was down to weight 9 months before the fight.

    I like these threads. Shall we count your mistakes?

    Its Let's, not lets

    Footwork is one word, not two!

    Corbett was 36 for Jeffries in the second fight, not 37 as you falsely claim. You get his age wrong on the first fight often too.

    Jeffries technique did improve. You can read about that if you bother to research! Not bad Mcvey, I only see a few errors in this post.

    - Mendoza


    I'm not talking about your " points " just your numerous mistakes. The joke of the matter is you calling anyone a clown here. Your a cankerous old man, and will never learn or change. As for Illiterate, I chose to correct you on that point...TWICE. Get used to it. I shall continue to expose your lies, double standards and mistakes asking you questions which you are forced to avoid as it illuminates your innate stupidity!

    I'll take Pollack's research over yours. Jeffries was fat and inactive for six years. And old for the time.

    As for Papa Jack, Randy Robert thinks Jack Johnson quit vs. Klondike. Not the last time he would quit in a fight.

    A world class heavyweight with 1 in a million genetics with degreed professionals whose full time job it is to get him faster and stronger could naturally get a 360 pound bench press for reps. I've seen guys in the gym do that kind of weight. Not many mind you. But it is possible.

    It would be a great fight. For 15 rounds I'd probably pick Evander by decision in an exciting brawl.

    Holyfield via stoppage in a one sided war.

    I don't think Paul Anderson was as strong as Hafthor Bjornsson, Brian Shaw, Ivan Makarov, etc
