Let me put it like this. He was a 5'6" middleweight and when he was blind and way past his prime (and, allow me to repeat, blind), he knocked out a heavyweight who could have been a real challenger to the title in Harry Wills.
He also beat Joe Gans, Barbados Joe and Stanley Ketchel. He beat Jack Blackburn. He fought FOREVER. He was dominant from lightweight to heavyweight. The dude was just a boxing savant.
