As true as this is, neither of you have seen probably more then 3 or 4 between you so you can't discredit it either... Ya know?

You're kind doing what he is... In reverse
you raise a valid point
Not really, because NOBODY has seen enough footage of Jim Jeffries (and remember the guy only had what 20 fights?) to make the assesment that he is the greatest. I haven't said he isn't the greatest, I am saying I haven't seen enough to elevate him to being the greatest ever!

Having said that I do have a fair bit of knowledge about him aswell as Corbett, Sullivan, Johnson, Langford fitzsimmons etc
