    Could he pull a Tyson or would Biggs be too big and too skilled

    Dempsey KO, and he makes it quick. I'd say no more than 4 rounds

    Biggs would play with Dempsey as a cat w a mouse. After fulfilling his mean streak he would dump the racist middleweight ducking bum in 3!

    A non-coke-addled Biggs would be the best heavyweight boxer Dempsey ever faced, the quickest, best jab, best schooled... Just sayin'.

    Biggs keeps Dempsey behind on the cards for a while, Jack s getting out jabbed. But Dempsey s like a relentless Pac-Man, before the fights half way through he's hammering Biggs to head and body. A painful ending fora bruised and battered Biggs.
    Dempsey by KO 7

    Biggs was a large, well schooled boxer with a nice jab. On paper he has this ... but in reality, I think he didn't have enough junkyard dog in him. I think he looks good to start, and then falls apart once Dempsey gets going.

    Dempsey is a better fighter than Tyson and Bowe

    Note that I said "heavyweight".

    In head to head sense, across eras, I don't really include those wee fellers as heavyweights because they are not truly such by modern standards.

    And, yes, Biggs at his short-lived best, was better than Sharkey IMO.

    It would never happen because Dempsey & Co. stick to their beloved Color Line.
