    Jack vs. the modern Giants.

    In his day, Jack Dempsey often had his best performances vs. much larger fighter such Willard and Fulton. Granted these two don't exhibit the skills of modern super heavyweights such as Bowe, Lewis, and the Klitschko's, but it does suggest Dempsey was equipped to overcome the size handicap.

    Suppose Dempsey in his prime faced Bowe, Lewis, W. Klitschko and V. Klitschko in their primes. What would you predict his record to be?

    15 rounds, 22 x 22 ring, 10 points must scoring. 1950's rules which include a neutral corner

    The giants Dempsey fought were just as skilled if not more skilled than the Klitschko's. Bowe and Lewis no.

    Dempsey would end all of their nights early. They were simply too slow to keep up with Jack's speed.
