Jeffries pulled off the greatest comeback we will never get to see when he KO’d Gentleman Jim Corbett in the 23rd round of their 25 round championship fight on this day in 1900. All Corbett had to do was stay standing until the final bell to be the first man to regain the belt.

I see this sentiment a lot; that he was more of a circus performer/showman showing off his flashy moves, than he was a player that would be, say; top 5 or top 3 or THE top, or be the no. 1 guy on a championship caliber team.

If I recall correctly, he was leading in the MVP run before he got injured in the 76-77 season.
