    For Talent ? dedication and desire Perhaps Jimmy is the better fighter, but the physical disadvantages would be unsurmountable for him i'm afraid, Riddicks Jab alone will be hard for him to overcome. Sorry but the Tale of the Tape leans this very much Bowes way. ( yes Jimmy might do better then Herbie Hide ...but still...)

    Jimmys reach 80" was abnormally long for a 5'9" man. It was once said Jimmys arms were so long his arms would hang below his knees when he was standing up (try it sometime!) I think he used this long reach to an advantage in fights by outboxing his larger taller foes.
