Prime Jack Dempsey vs the following fighters

I would favor him over all but he'd probably pick up a random loss somewhere, most likely to Tucker or motivated Douglas. They'd be live dogs at least.

 

I would favor him over all, but I think that he would lose to somebody.

 

Alex steward woulda mangle him

 

absolute prime Dempsey takes them all in 1 or 2 rds. KO . Good night

 

I would favor all over him except Golota.

 

I'm gonna say it, I think Dempsey's technique is underrated, however his Power is drastically overrated. However now that being said I do think he beats all of these on his best day.

 

Remember that it is their best days, also. Tony Tubbs was Willie Meehan x1000. Buster Douglas had one of the best days ever by any heavy. Tucker was the sort of specimen backed by the skillset that really only existed in a watered down form in Wills during Dempsey's day.

 

Fair enough and tbf Douglas beat the supreme nuclear blend Dempsey in Tyson. But then again the Willard performance was alot better than the Tyson performance Vs Douglas. If Dempsey had you hurt he'd continuesly pound your head with punches until you socumbed, if it was Dempsey who dropped Douglas in the (was it 8 round I haven't seen it in a while) Douglas would've lost.

Whilst I find Dempsey extremely overrated I do think these guys aren't on his level.

 

Tucker had a better chin than Golota did.

 

19 first round knockouts.....

Blasted out highly regarded contender Fred Fulton in 27 seconds, broke Jess Willard's everything (who had never been down in his entire career despite getting his **** kicked in by Jack Johnson and fighting big punchers like Luther McCarty and Carl Morris), being the only man to knock down Gene Tunney, being quoted by Jack Sharkey as the hardest puncher he ever fought.....

Yet his power is overrated? I've heard more naysay about Dempsey's power than praise

 

Thus, I would favor all those fighters listed EXCEPT GOLOTA over Dempsey.

 

Tucker, Spinks and Douglas would land the most jabs on Dempsey utilizing their massive reach advantages, Tucker was 6'5 and Willard couldn`t jab like Tony or keep a monster like Tyson off by posting often with his lead that tactic would keep Dempsey off him, he never faced something like that. Williams would land a lot of jabs but was a sucker for a left hook, game over. Dempsey was harder to hit than Golota but used to bring his head forwards as he crouched making him a sucker for straight punches and Golota would have thrown and landed loads of straight shots as was his style, Dempsey never faced something like that from such a big man. Tubbs would make the same mistake he made v Tyson by fighting on the inside after initial minor success on the outside and the fight would end with the same punch, the hook. Stewart beat Tyson in the 90`s and Dempsey wass more dangerous than Mike was at that stage, Steward simply didn`t know how to exploit the reach to have an edge over Jack and he would freze like he did v Mike.

 

Sorry it`s 12:14am in Britain at this point, I`m a little sleepy.

 

Boy, do I understand that. Go to sleep, my limey friend!
