Re: How Do You Rank Sullivan, Corbitt, Jeffries, Fitzsimmons?

This 10 minute clip is packed to the hilt with history. Rickard asked President Taft to ref the fight? That's hilarious. Even though I knew how much weight Jeffries had to lose, something about this 10 minute video drives home a sort of a moral victory. 300 plus pounds down to 220? then went 15 rounds? I dunno, I think this dude might have sent some modern day fighters to ICU.
Again, if he fought today, his movement and rhythm would've been today's not yesteryear.
I also like those feints at the beginning that Sullivan did.
Great video!
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
