    Perhaps a bit of george Foreman because of the strength. Also, call me crazy but he reminds me of Sonny Liston too, minus the great jab.

      Jeffries didn't fight anything like Lewis, Foreman, or Liston. Jeffries fought from a croutch and kept his left hand ****ed for a left hook either to the body or jaw. The left hook was his best punch, and he was an attrition puncher. I would compare him to Marciano more than anything, except he didn't bob and weave, and he was bigger.

        but he kind of had the same body mass like lennox lewis , both were chest hairy, and they both were bulky. that's why i said i compared jeffries with lewis. not their styles. lewis would eat jeffries for breakfast.

          If I was comparing him to anybody it would be Frazier. Both ceded early rounds to opponents, both used their durability as a weapon to ware the opponent down, both had that "head down" type of style.

            Hardly. Lewis was 6'-5 and 235-240. Jeffries was 6'-2" and 215-220. Big difference.
