James Jeffries did beat Corbett, Sharkey, and Fitzsimmons so he is an ATG. I think he either had atleast one win or draw with Choynski? But he did lose to Jack Johnson proving his racist theory was wrong.

Although he lost 3 times to Jim Corbett during his early career, he fought a multitude of world champions, but mostly at the wrong times..
He KO'd a young Jack Johnson in 3 rounds, and fought draws with Jeffries, Fitzsimmons, Marvin Hart, and Kid McCoy but also lost to the latter on 2 occasions.. He lost 2 or 3 times to Philly Jack O'Brien aswell, but this was way late in his career..
