    I think Dempsey and Tyson are directly comparable on offence.

    Evry one of the 4 shows Dempsey up. I am not taking anything from what he has done he is a good boxer but no way can he beat these guys , maybe Wlad , IF , he can get on the inside.

    Sure they are "comparable". But Tyson is bigger, stronger, faster hands, and hits harder with both hands.

    But Dempsey is sharper and more pointed. They are both exquisetly balanced at their best, but I think Dempsey is better at making that little bit of space. If we're talking technique, I also have to say that I really, really, really don't rate Tyson all the way inside, wheras Dempsey is the best HW on offence inside up until Louis arrived on the scene, and Janitor would have you believe he is even better than Louis in this department.

    He has a better chin too, but these are all things that god has given him.

    In terms of the offensive methodology, it would not be too far fetched to compare Dempsey to Duran. Dempsey is artistry in motion in terms of technique.

    Who is that woman in your pic? I love busty redheads. Druidic redheaded nymphs living in the forest. Bright pink juicy nipples that look like little baubles of pearly skin filled with passion fruit juice

    I agree no one utilizes angles the way Dempsey does, but to achieve simplicity here, I have never seen a fighter destroy durable world class fighters so easily the way Mike Tyson did. When Mike tyson hit opponents, they did funny things. They usually did not last much longer. Such an incredible finisher. He literally could knockout anybody in his prime. The beatdown Dempsey gave to Willard was impressive, but it took Dempsey 7 knockdowns and horrendous punishment to put him away, and even then willard fought on for another 2 rounds with Jack unable to put him away. I really feel it would take Mike only about 2-3 knockdowns to put willard's lights out permanetly. Willard would not have made it out of round 1 vs Tyson if Tyson punched him the way dempsey did.

    Just take a look what Tyson did to Holmes! No one ever did that to larry! Larry was out Cold!!! Dead as a doorknob.

    Tyson couldn't knock out anybody in his prime, because he couldn't knock out Buster Douglas. And before the whole thing about him not being focused or prepared for the Douglas fight comes my way, i know all the details, and i think it's embarrassing. Anyone who knows my posts know that i'm a huge Tyson fan, and as a kid he was my favourite fighter bar none, but i'm consistent with this way of thinking...... 'montreal Duran'. '88 Tyson', selective memory is embarrassing. If Tyson was prime in 88 at a young age, he was prime in 90 at a young age.

    I agree he is one of the greatest finishers allme though.
