    Can we count "the long count" as a win for him?

    Jack Sharkey
    Miske
    Firpo.

    Vs Walcott, Moore, and Charles.

    Pretty good fights.

    Absolutely not.

    Among the reasons why I think Marciano is better than Dempsey.

    You could definitely make a case for Jack Sharkey being as skilled, at least when he had his head screwed on.

    Gibbons and Miske might plausibly have been as skillful, but with limited available footage, we will leave it at that.
