    Would you even be interested in learning about Dempsey and why he is rated so highly by some (fools)?

    Well if you don't like Dempsey then my second choice was Rocky Marciano.

    Yeah but maybe one day you would learn to read and see that i said no 180 pound fighters like Dempsey or Marciano kid. I said 200 plus pound heavyweights only

    Well if I can't choose those three then I'll pick Sam Langford.

    On second thought, I pick Jack Dempsey with Rocky Marciano a close second.

    I'd say Dempsey. Surprised nobody's mentioned him yet.

    I see you still haven't got the gist of this thread, what with your "facts" and "reason".

    Hmmm, Jack Dempsey comes to mind as well as Rocky Marciano.. A bit below that, i'd rank Fitzsimmons and Satterfield. They had their limitations, but did hit like a truck. Dunno who else, really. :conf


    Edit: Patterson is another good mention, quick fists and a devastating left hook.

    I know he's remember primarily as a boxer, but when Gene Tunney stood flat-footed and opened up he had a very dominant offensive arsenal. Solid hooks and uppercuts to head and body, thrown in devastating combinations.
