He didn't look too hot in his fight before Cooper either (v. Jones). He was put down because he just open to left hooks.

Dempsey wasn't really quicker than Liston either and Liston had a jab the quickest punch in boxing, Dempsey didn't. A hook is much easier to avoid than a jab

A prime Dempsey was
a lot quicker than Liston , imo.
Dempsey had a jab but he didn't use it like Liston used his. Both jabs
and hooks are hard to avoid. A well-delivered left hook you won't even see coming.
