Jeffries v Byrd

The Indestructable Boilermaker v Chris Byrd, the cagey, elusive, light hitting ,but points scoring defensive specialist.
Would Jeffries eventually wear him down ,with that left hook to the midriff ?
Or does Byrd, smother the Californian's offence , nullify his power,and take a dec?

Oh,and its 15 rds .Modern gloves etc.

 

Jeffries went 25 rds ONCE. 23rds,once, in a fight he was losing,he was 24 ,his opponent 10 years older,and 30lbs lighter .


20 rds, 3 times two of which were draws, he was never in a finish fight.

Byrd conceded lumps of weight to nearly all his adversaries ,and in his prime years ,from 1995 -2000 , was stopped ONCE ,by Ibeabuchi who out weighed him by 36lbs.
I think Byrd has a good chance against Jeffries in ANY scenario, certainly as good as a 188lbs 34 year old Corbett, who was coming out of a 2 year retirement.

 

You base Corbett's abilites on what, less than 5 minutes of footage?
I don't say Jeffries would not win ,what I think is Byrd has a shot at beating him based on his style and the styles that gave Jeffries trouble.
Why would young Jeffries stop Byrd early?
He could not stop chinny Joe Choynski in 20rds.
Nor ,34 coming out of 2 yrs retirement, past his best Corbett, and one was a super middle, one a cruiser.
Ancient Jeffries ? Do you mean the comebacking Jeffries? He would get a drubbing imo.He looked **** poor, sparring with a prehistoric Choynski.
Byrd' prime weight is 215lbs,and only Ike managed to stop him during that prime.
Does Jeffries hit harder than Tua,Wlad, Vitali?

 

That was my first thought ,but Tua did not do it ,and though probably nowhere in Jeffries class,he fought at a faster pace.Jeffries, against Ruhlin appears to be forcing things , making the fight but still having some difficulty against the back pedalling Ruhlin,true he did catch him and nearly broke him in half with his left, but Ruhlin was not as elusive as Byrd.
Byrd,did not take many shots flush,I think he has a good chance of going the distance,as he did with Wlad,Vitali ,and Tua.

 

I see your point ,though I don't necessarily agree with it.
My question is ,why does the chin that held up against Tua,Wlad ,and Vitali, fail against Jeffries?

 

Jeffries was in a horrible state after a few fights too.
Four opponents went the distance ,one of them twice ,and he was nowhere near the defensive fighter Bryd was ,[Sharkey],in fact he fought with his face, yet he managed 45rds with Jeffries ,and some thought he won the first fight.
Byrd is a good 25 lbs heavier than Sharkey, and 4 inches taller, true he was no puncher ,but he was no face first brawler either.
