    I would love to see one of those guys fight the modern-day guys. You are right about Jim Jefferies. He lost 110 pounds to fight Jack Johnson after being retired for 6 years. Look at the tremendous rock-hard shape he is in for the fight. Also he was 37 years old at the time which is that fateful number for heavyweight comebacks.

    Yeah imagine a u.s. president being the referee that would be really something
    His initial feint, I was like man I see that a mile away, then he jerked his head, hand again? I was like dayum!! Nice.


    As far as him getting back in shape- IMO this gives cred to old timer boxing fans that relish the past- He didn't have no Jenny Craig, no Cuisine Lean meals, no hydroxy cut, no Garcinia Cambogia no excusing ..:It's my metabolism...I can't lose weight...aka no excuse making or nothing, just man the Fuck up and lose some weight by exercising.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Yes bro! Same here. I saw his first feint and I thought "this wouldn't fool fighters nowadays", but then he lurched it, jerked his head like a stutter step, and it wasn't what I thought was coming! That dude was cerebral with that shit bro.

    Haha hydroxycut remember that shit haha Jenny Craig lmao. You're right, it does indeed give cred. They just did it. Hell, Roberto Duran used to literally eat gallons of ice cream and balloon to 220 pounds between fights, yet make weight.
