    No limit to the rounds, gloveless, grappling allowed. takes place in an authentic Amish red barn. Given JD's let's say decent wrestling/Judo, I am tipping he either chokes George out or KO's him on the ground. But meh, this could be a fun thread.

    Dempsey’s only hope is to take George to the ground and choke him out. But given George’s brute strength and power and durability any other scenario has me seeing Dempsey beaten. Seriously or closely but beaten.

    How about George "The Animal" Steele vs Shirley Temple in a Steel Cage Match at the Astrodome in Houston?

    There's a reason why he was called 'Big' George. Only way Jack Dempsey is taking him out is by a low blow or if he had a gun.

    So you think being big neutralizes grappling?

    Lol Foreman every day of the week. I’d honestly be shocked if Dempsey made it to round 4.

    Foreman get's a mallet, Jack a pitch fork.
