    Would (not COULD, but WOULD) Jack Dempsey of Toledo KO a prime Oliver McCall?

    I doubt it.. McCall has never TRULY been stopped, and that crying incident against Lennox Lewis hardly counts as a real TKO.. The fight probably should have been ruled as a disqualification more than anything else.

    McCall was a man who in my opinion, could have made it to the final bell against pretty much any puncher we can think of, even though some of them would have beaten him to a pulp.

    Doesn't come close.

    You arent taking McCall out in a round.

    I would not bet a kidney bean against it.

    Dempsey was one of the three best finishers in the history of the heavyweight division.

    No... McCall would go 10, 12 or 15 rds with Demps, but likely get out-hustled and drop the decision.... McCall has alway been strong, powerful and tuff as a dollar steak in a coffee shop....

    Nope.

    Dempsey would have trouble landing, and, if he did, he wouldn't come close to KO'ing the iron-chinned McCall. Not possible.

    No.

    Prime Magneto could though, as he'd exploit the magnetic nature of McCall's solid iron chin.

    I give up.

    Would Jack Dempsey have a chance of winning a fight against postman pat?

    yes he'd destroy Postman Pat(who you would call the Ali of the Postman era, a tougher version from a tougher time, when men were men, before email which is not as effective) but not against world class heavyweight boxers from the modern era(when men fought blacks)

    Dempsey has such taut, slender, beautiful dancer legs so anything can happen.
