    The two giants do battle in a 15 round fight with 3 kd rule in place .
    Does Cooney get him out fast ?
    Or can Jess drag him in to deep waters?

    I think Jess stops him late. Jess was a hard man to stop.

    He was indeed ,a lot of people see the Dempsey fight and only that .But Jess was meeting a fired up ,hungry Jack and Willard had never met anyone like that .So saying that ,if Willard can make it through the first Say 5 rounds ,then he's in with a chance of tiring his man out .

    Judging Willard from the Dempsey fight is like judging Holmes from the Tyson fight.

    Interesting pairing,No Gerry doesn't get him out quick prime Jess had a good chin.15 rounds, I would lean towards Cooney.

    Good point! 1915 Jess was much better than 1919 Jess!

    This. Both Willard and Holmes were old and inactive going into those fights.

    I go with Cooney, people talk about Willard's chin, but Cooney loved hitting a man in the body and his left hook was vicious.
