Re: Some hypothetical matchups
James Jeffries - Harry Wills .... Jeffries 2 out of 3
Harry Wills - Max Schmeling.... Wills 3 out of 3
Max Schmeling - Jersey Joe Walcott .... Schmeling 2 out of 3
Jersey Joe Walcott - Sonny Liston...... Liston 3 out of 3
Sonny Liston - Joe Frazier ....... ?????
Joe Frazier - Evander Holyfield ...... Frazier 2 out of 3
I usually think that Liston beats Frazier everytime..... but then I think about Frazier's determination, and about Liston never fighting anyone quite like Frazier. But then I remember what Foreman did to Frazier then I think about what Leotis Martin did to Liston. And then I think about Jaclem saying that I spend too much time on the fence.
And then I think about the view from the fence..... and it all starts over again.

I picked Jeffries, but found it the most difficult one to call. Jeffries was unbeaten in his peak until he fought Johnson when he was faded, so find it hard to argue against him unless it was one of the real top top guys of all time. Id rank both Jeffries and Wills in my top 20 heavyweights of all time.BoxBuzz wrote:It's the Wills Jeffries Matchup that is most interesting, I don't see Wills as getting it done, but pundit and devious disagree.
