    I've got plenty of respect for Dempsey and wouldn't doubt one bit he's as good or better than any 180-190 pound fighter we've had. He's also be up around the top for power. He's an underrated technician at times too but we've got to try and keep some perspective and honesty.

    I don't think he hit as hard as Ruddock or Lewis but I'm quite confident he hit harder than Holyfield.

    I didn`t know that but Tyson was far better finisher than Briggs.

    Ehh maybe. Holyfeild IS underrated as a puncher. His left hook is a top 10, 5 at a strong shove, frow the HW division, I don't think Dempsey's is
