    It would be over in the first round. The Manassa Mauler staring up at the rafters.

    You can't walk onto Tyson like Jack would do.

    Actually the way to fight Tyson is to rough him up, attack him and show the bully who is boss. Make him fight off his back foot. The way not to fight him unless you are Ali is to allow him to space to land his long shots.

    Strange to say the least.

    Most of his more rabid fans will tell you Tyson was at his most destructive from mid range, not with " long shots. "

    Dempsey rode the rails in his early years fighting in mining towns against much bigger men in order to survive...Tyson knocked over old ladies in Brooklyn...you tell me...

    For anyone who believes Dempsey has any chance against Tyson.

    Please take a look at Tysons fights against guys closer to his size
    Frazier, Spinks, Mcneeley, Seldon, Norris, Etienne.

    For anybody who thinks that Dempsey doesn't have a chance:

    Why do we hold fights in the first place?

    So Dempsey supporters let's hear it, how is Dempsey going to beat Tyson?, is he going to outbox him? Outslug him? Break down for me how its gonna happen. Or does all Dempsey have to do is "show no fear':lol:
