I've seen him fight Ketchel, impressive Ko of a middleweight.

Poor old James Jeffries caught up in this racist "great white hope bullshit" was close to his size, but Jesus....wasn't he retired for 5 years living on a farm...cut a couple hundred pounds off of his fat out of shape, doesn't have it anymore body - when he was made to fight Johnson?
