    You're a damn fine poster and boxing fan, luf. Thoroughly objective and sensible. I'm going to have to start using you as a gauge for when my bias is getting out of line.:good

    The Dempsey that beat Jungle Jess Willard the man mountain who took Johnson to school and killed a man with a single blow? I think you might be on to something there...
    For the record prime Dempsey KOs any Siamang Gibbon and all of the lesser apes within the same round

    Willard would school Tyson and Dempsey would destroy Berbick

    :good thank you for the kind words, you aint too shabby yourself mate!

    Nah i'm just an obsessive statistician who's frantically compiling a spreadsheet database of 675 fighters with the hope I can better understand each one and then objectively rank them both divisionally and p4p.

    I dunno man could Dempsey handle Berbick's blackness? based on video footage he seems to be quite black.

    Oh ****, i totally forgot about that. Black fighters refused to fight Dempsey due to the colour issue.

    You forget about the blurring speed of Prime Dempsey!

    Taylor's speed+Shaver's power = pale imitation of Declining Dempsey

    I've only seen the after effects, from reports of the time i read that Willard was declared dead by the ring doctor on at least 3 occasions during his bout with Dempsey

    May i just say 0:55 is the funniest **** ive ever seen, imagine going for a run and seeing these 3 ahead of you doing that :lol:
