    Dempsey never saw anything like Bowe, on the other hand Bert Cooper was kinda similar in fighting style to Dempsey and Bowe annihilated him in one round basically.

    Bowe KO

    Bert Cooper further removed from Dempsey, than Bowe was from what Dempsey fought, and made short work of!

    Well :copas:
    Dempsey :campeon2::angel:was more proven :cat: on world level and :drink::godsdrink0nw:beat more fighters in the top ten :nut: hell of a puncher :roto2gay::roto2palm:
    He knocked out :roto2cafe: a big fighter similar to Bowe inside a round :roto2nuse::copas:!
    Can see it on the resume easily :periodico:
    Yep, I pick Dempsey based on achievements :deal:

    I can't bet against Bowe, but if he tried to keep the fight at distance and box Demosey, he might be in for a nasty surprise. I don't doubt Dempsey had the speed, delivery and power to knockout Bowe if he was to catch him with his very best shots, but it's hard not to side with the bigger guy here. My guess is that as soon as Bowe feels Dempsey's power he switches his game up and bombs Dempsey out before the 3rd or 4th, but might get a bit shaken up his route to victory.

    Head to head has to be reflected in achievement.

    If a fighter can't build up a resume, then they likely aren't all that head to head!

    If Dempsey could be pumped up a bit like Bellew vs Haye he might do the damage.

    I'd have to go Bowe. It would be an interesting battle inside.

    A more competitive match up would be Bert Cooper vs Jack Dempsey

    DEMPSEY LIVES AND CONTROLS suzieqs mind. Obsession! If Jack were still living he would have to beware a Mark David Chapman/John Lennon scenario. I bet you have many copies of "Catcher In The Rye". Does your neighbor's dog talk to you and tell you to make derogatory threads on DEMPSEY? Get help man. Turn yourself in before the voices drive you too far.
