In appearance and strength, Jess is the Willard who came back from Havana in 1915 champion of the world, then and now a human eye-full. His huge bulk has been restrained to a string and his appearance is that of a vigorous thirty instead of 40 years to which he admits. It is silly to say that "Willard looks all right on the outside but that his vital organs are embedded in fat. He daily gives the lie to that theory with a series of body bending exercises that would break an ordinary man of half his years." Lying across one chair with his feet hooked in a great python for upward of half an hour, sometimes varying the procedure by raising and lowering his body in rapid, jacknife movements. Only a man of great strength and trained to the split second can do that sort of thing. Willard does it without apparent distress or effort.
