    Johnson’s durability is a question for me too. Jeffries may or may not maul him out of the fight entirely. I see them as on a similar level (Jeffries probably under-rated, Johnson, most definitely over), just very different stylistically.

    Jeffries was down to weight 9 months before the fight.
    He never weighed over 300lbs.

    Johnson was the superior overall fighter. I'd back him to win pretty comfortably.
