    Yes there obviously was no love lost there.

    "Jeffries was a young man beating up on old men"" Gene Tunney,

    Perhaps it was the Irish connection ,Tunney was close to Corbett.

    I was impressed by Jeffries work ethic seems he trained like a maniac, a Marciano forerunner. What a fearsome sight he must have been coming at you, scowling beetle brows, stolidly chewing gum. I bet he made the ham and eggers fill their shorts.

    Typical "everything was much better in my day" type of statement.
