That makes two of us.

 

He can't help it.

 

Lewis could tie one arm behind his back and still beat Jeffries easily.

That's how big of a mismatch this is.

 

Box rec says he was 6' tall. They are wrong. I have seen many 6 foot 1 and a half measurement for Jeffries and some 6'2"s tall.

As an older man, Jeffries was as tall as Babe Ruth, who was also 6'2" tall.

Lewis had a great reach, but that did not prevent him from nearly being outboxed from Mercer who had a 77" reach ( Nearly even with Jeffries ), and Ray was a little heavy for the fight.

6-4 for Lewis was my score. Lewis had a black eye, and the fight was only 10 rounds. Mercer like Jeffries had a very good chin. Had this been 12 or 15, Mercer would have had a better chance.

Frank Bruno who was also shorter and had less reach than Lewis was also out boxing him prior to the KO.

Lewis for all his skills was never great at controlling the tempo of the fight with his jab.

Lewis, by the way, had some issues vs Ossie Ocasio, who started boxing below 200 pounds and stood 5'11 1/2 inches tall.

Referee: Larry O'Connell scored it 80-77 for Lewis!

 

So what you're really saying is no one can definitively say how tall Jeffries was, so how does that equate to Boxrec being wrong?

Do you know the source of the information they used?

Or maybe it's wrong simply because it doesn't fit your agenda?

Regardless, the idea that Jeffries could ever beat Lewis isn't even worth discussing in my book, so I'm off this thread.

But it is kind of ironic how you keep claiming how good the Superheavyweights of today are compared to yesterday and then all of a sudden exceptions are popping up.

Kind of kills you're whole argument doesn't it??

>>I'm not getting hysterical. That's what you do. I am simply pointing out facts that Lewis sometimes had trouble with smaller men, and Jeffries was over 6 feet tall.

Like I said if you don't; think Jeffries would weight at least 230 today, create a poll and you'll see. Or take Adam's word that he would.

 

He was 227 for Johnson with no fat on him. Wasn't that a major fight? NEXT!

Again there are several news tales of the tape that say 6'1" 1/2

Both Rahman and McCall by the way were 6'2" tall. And Mercer a tad shorter. If you ask me, puncher's this size historical gave Lewis some trouble
