Yeah. Ignore history and those who saw him. DEMPSEY could knockout any other Heavyweight Champion in history. Most quickly. I'd bet the house he would KO protected, weakchinned, nonconfident Patterson in 1. He'd jump on Floyd like a tiger on a bunny. All the historians in history are wrong and you're right? No!
Just to be clear, what you're saying is that all historians say that Dempsey is the best? Are you absolutely sure? Mate you have Ali down at 6, with Joe Frazier above him, Johnson at 3 and more hahaha its humorous, but have a day off
And this is based upon his opponents and the results against them? I suppose there is no gulf in quality between a 37 year old twice-retired Willard, a lightheavy Eurofraud and a hapless Firpo and the top contenders who followed? Again, if we can say things such as that Dempsey would or would likely KO any other champ in history based on his record then we damn sure have to say the same things about Liston, Marciano, Wlad... and even Wilder... and many others.
Having read it again, you also have Jeffries in your top 10, have left out Lewis, Holyfield and Tyson, and have even rated Gene Tunney as a heavyweight. Do you even really like boxing?
Well, how about producing an argument that is at least remotely convincing. Because your opiniom, precious as it is, doesn't amount to much.
So, the case was all but closed in 1928 and only one more was let in after... and that was 40 years ago. You do realize that Wlad Klitschko controlled the division for about 8% of its existence under MDQ rules, correct? You do realize that objectively comparing Lennox Lewis' heavyweight opponents to Tunney's, Dempsey's or Johnson's causes fits of laughter dangerous to one's health.
HEY, there is no room on a public forum for you to be telling us what you do with your sphincter. Sicky.. whatever. I am sure you pulled Patterson for the top ten out of your arse when it unclenched MATE.
