It took a monstrous, giant hitter to bother an ancient, fat Toney with power.
It took a rather spindly, late-stage boxer to frustrate and make Dempsey sweat with good boxing. Toney. And it's not even that close. |

What saved Tunney was his classic all time boxing skills and foot movement. Toney fought flat footed and would be eaten alive by Dempseys speed and all time punching power. Huge body attack followed by head shots...Toney does not last 5 rounds.

Seriously?!, Dempsey didn't mind fighting coloured fighters he sparred with them and fought many many many before he met his manager kearns, Kearns did not let him fight black fighters because he did not want the title to go to a black man and have another jack johnson situation causing riots ect....

Dempsey way too fast and powerful and Toney would be right in front of him. One shot from Dempsey could end the fight at any time. Also....Dempsey was rated as the greatest hwt champion for many decades. Toney is not rated as anything as a hwt.

close fight because of their styles
despite being more skilled, Toney would play right into the hands of Dempsey by fighting in the pocket for the most part Dempsey would land his fair share of punches, just as Jirov did Toney by SD |

Toney has been hit by heavier punchers, and he didn't go nowhere |

Dempsey.
Dempsey's got the kind of ferocity that like a Frazier or Marciano or Tyson, isn't going to engage Toney on his terms. Dempsey's no Glen Wolfe or Rahman. I like Toney but I wouldn't be keen on this matchup if I was in his corner. |

Toney and pretty easily. He doesnt get anough credit. He beat a huge punching massive man in sam peter, another big punching huge guy in rahman. Toney would school Jack an i'm not Dempsey hater.

Toney can get a little overrated. Great talent and great skills, but CW and above he was nothing sensational. I think he lacks the discipline and is too stationary to outpoint Dempsey. He'll get outworked.
