Lewis smites him through the floor of the ring with a mighty right. Early knockout.

Jack destroys SRR but gets destroyed by Lennox.

(Lennox does need to be careful though).

 

Are you seriously using a completely shot Tyson to assess this matchup? Jesus Christ!

 

Maybe just maybe they were a little bit different.

 

I still think that 2002 Tyson could beat Dempsey

 

this would be a shootout - Lennox had quite an arsenal and Jack could hit hard with both hands - depends on the fight Lennox wants to fight - box or slug or both - I see a KO before the 8th - Don't count Jack Dempsey out he flurried coming out of the crouch and he hit as hard as Rahman or McCall only a bit quicker and a lot meaner - may be a quick one - 1-3 rounds but cant see it going past 8 - Dempsey takes it in the 1920's Lewis in the 1990's but who really knows

 

Then ydksab

 

Lewis stops him the middle rounds. That being said, Lewis has become a bit overrated head to head on this Forum.

 

Lewis is just light years better in every regard than anyone Dempsey beat, skillwise, athlete-wise, power-wise... you name the way.

This isn't fair to Jack.

 

Lewis beat Ruddock, Grant, Rahman, Holy, Tyson, Bruno, Tucker, Morrison, Vitali, Golota, Tua, Briggs, Mercer and Mason...

Willard beat an old, disinterested Johnson.

 

Dempsey was probably the best heavyweight in history, at overcoming a size disparity, and he clearly excelled against this type of fighter.

I understand that Fulton and Willard were not in the class of Lewis, but he could not have done much more with what was available.

I think that Dempsey at his best would absolutely pose a credible threat to Lewis.

He might well be the only fighter of his size in history that would!
