Dempsey 1919 vs Tyson 1989: What would happen?

Dempsey had quick hands but young Tyson's were quicker.

 

Lol - easier than me knocking up a "Jack Dempsey was NOT an anorexic weakling" post

 

Silence '****!

Tyson in the first 2 rounds.

 

Offtop

Can anyone post a heavyweight tale of the tape with measurements of likes of Dempsey, Liston, Holyfield?

This site apparently broke down:

:huh Dempsey has better headmovement than Tyson, has the better footwork defensive-wise and better footspeed. Dempsey has the the shorter punches is a better infighter and better at long range. Handspeed is about similar and he hits as hard. Tyson was stopped 5 times. Dempsey once. But Tyson has the better chin?

 

It doesn't matter how many people agree or not. Do you think Jesse Owens could out run Usain Bolt? Do you think football players from the 30's are better then C.Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka? Then why do people think boxers from that period could beat modern boxers? It doesn't make any sense.

And to answer your question Diaconu would ko the 1919 Dempsey in 3-4 rounds.

 

FFS look at him hit. If a boxer would hit like that today he would be laughed at.

 

Boxing is not an athletic sport. It's not comparable to these sports.

 

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME? Boxing is not an athletic sport? So stamina has no impact in boxing. Agility has no impact in boxing. Speed, power are irrelevant. How about the way you hit and move in the ring, has that improved over the years? Everything from medication, food, training has improved over the years. It would be a miracle if a boxer before WW2 beat a modern boxer.

 

:-(no it doesn't make any sense, but it doesn't stop some on here thinking jeffries and dempsey would beat tyson.
tyson would batter dempsey to defeat inside 2 rounds

 

Do you consider the Foreman of the 90s athletic?

 

Yes. But I guess some people don't know what "athletic" means.

Here's a clue

"involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina"

 

They have no clue

 

Yes a 29yo Dempseys head movement and defensive footwork was incredible against Tunney, he just slipped the jab and right so effortlessly

Tyson has 10-15 opponents better than Dempseys best win
