Jack Dempsey vs Prime Frank Bruno

Bruno was never listed above 6' 3". Though he was a defined 247 such as against Tyson.

 

Lewis was awful vs Bruno? Sounds like special pleading...

 

I'd favor Bruno but certainly wouldn't count Dempsey out.

 

Doesn't mean crap when you have a glass jaw

 

Dempsey had good movement, Bruno didn't.

Dempsey could punch, Bruno couldn't take a punch.

Dempsey wins by KO.

 

Was Bruno ever flattened in 1 by a 180 pound Has Been on a losing streak? Was he rocked to his heels by 172 pound hype job Euro Bum? Was he ever dropped by a 189 pound blown up light heavy with brittle hands?

This is head to head. Bruno represents a different level of athlete than those who stung Dempsey.

 

Say what you want your entitled. 180 lb Dempsey shatters that glass jaw. Bruno doesn't have what it takes to trade with Dempsey hes not in his league. I always go on H2H matchups

 

Jack early for me.

 

I don't honestly think that he was!

What did he accomplish, that would lead you to that conclusion?

This is a guy who pretty much lost every time he stepped up.

People don't rate him highly in head to head match ups because he was successful, they rate him highly because he was big, and visually impressive!

 

I wouldn't say that Bruno had a glass jaw. No one really koed him with just one shot. It was almost always a accumulation of punches that forced the ref to stop him on his feet. Besides there were some big noted punchers that stopped him and I ain't sure if even Dempsey could have withstood those same pumches that stopped Bruno.

 

Bruno was ahead against Lennox for gods sake.

His jab alone busts Dempsey up.

Different times gents.

 

Jack Dempsey actually beat people for gods sake!

If the best that you can say for Bruno, is that he was ahead against X in a losing effort, then you can't say very much for him!

 

He wouldn’t have beaten Lewis.

 

Boils down to who can take a better shot ..my moneys on JD
