    Hello,

    Forgive me if this has been shared on the board before but I found this 1908 article very interesting. I know Sullivan vs Jeff has been done to death. However, this article has some of the same arguments that people use in Jeffries vs Sullivan today. It's from a man who saw them both at their best. He also doesn't take a bias standing due to the era he grew up in pretty rare for an old timer back then.

    Thank You.
