    This is true.
    Dempsey would meet Tyson in the trenches.

    I love how whenever Dempsey is discussed people pretend that Firpo wasnt completely inept and a total media creation and Willard even at his best wasnt mediocre, much less when he was pushing 40, inactive for 3 years, out of shape, and pathetically trained.

    Of course here we go with the character assassination, rather then break down the fight and describe how Dempsey would win, lets bring up IRRELEVANT events from their lives that have NO bearing on how a fight between the two of them would go.

    I had Marvis well ahead on points when the referee inexplicably waved it off.

    Two words.

    Roberto Duran.

    WHEN did Duran ever use his " jab " as ANYTHING other than a range finder? Even Ray Arcel said Duran's jab wasn't worth ****.

    At least Dempsey destroyed them.

    Great as Tyson was, he did not annihilate the super heavyweights like Dempsey and Louis did!

    I think guys like Tucker and Ruddock are a whole different ballgame to Firpo and Willard

    I rarely see anyone denying that Dempsey beat the sh!t out of inept, decrepit and out of shape oafs.
    It adds to his aura, yo.

    True.
    Give Willard Tucker's gheri curls and he'd be the shizzle though.
