    Normally I put in the method of victory in the poll but here I assume that it ends in a KO either way

    Just as well as there wasn't a Marciano vs Dempsey thread done yesterday, or every month on Classic.

    Ive always thought that if Marciano survives the first few round he takes it.

    You realize this thread was just done yesterday and is still on the front page?

    The mods should just merge the threads or have one mega thread for the common matchups people make so they don't clutter the forum with dupes. But what do I know I never ran a forum. I don't get why they allow this.

    I think Dempsey was faster and a better two handed hitter and had ridiculously underrated stamina but eve though I favor him Rocky just seemed to have the cooler head ... I'd favor Jack but Rocky catching him like Marquez caught Paq wouldn't shock me ..
