    Jim Jeffries ,the durable one, never dropped in a fight until he returned when past it.
    Who would have the best chance of breaking that record over 15rds, with modern gloves?

    Lewis, Louis, Tyson, Foreman would have to be favoured to get the job done and maybe Dempsey, Baer, Wlad and Marciano too.

    Surprised no-one mentioned Liston, that style match-up is horrendous.

    Oh ****, how could I forget Liston?
