    Tyson wasn`t quite the finished article when he beat Berbick could Jack have caught him with that hook?

    There is a lot that points toward Tyson, Jack has a 1 in 4 chance in my opinion

    Nobody knows. I suspect that several times we see some fantasy fight like a done thing and it would have been very different if actually would have happened

    Tyson by early KO. He outquicks and outpowers Dempsey at midrange, a place he gets to without much complication. I don't think Jack has the tools to keep Mike outside and beat him from there.

    Do you think he`d land 1 in every 4 of his hooks thrown?

    Dempsey must be favored here...it might be similar to the holyfield bouts as dempsey could box ,move, fight inside and explode as well as out tough tyson.. "The toledo dempsey never had an equal on this earth as a fighter" hype igoe ...tyson could give it out but couldn't take it and started crying when holyfield knocked him down with a body shot...he would own tyson as holyfield did

    Jack couldn`t clinch they way Holy did and Tyson`s cobo`s were better with Rooney in his corner.

    funny thing....years ago i was talking with an ex fighter who knew a couple of pros who were going to spar with Dempsey...him and the other local pros basically said go out there and knock his block off and things like that....a couple of days later they retuned to the gym and they asked what happened why back so soon....one of the pros responded " we aint getting in the ring with that f ing animal".....and the fighter i was speaking with said these were two of the toughest pros hed ever saw or knew
