We’ll never agree on this. I think that Fury punching himself is a small indication of his lack of coordination. Dempsey being KO’d by Flynn is an...
To a limited extent. Ezzard Charles never punched himself in the face during a fight. Fury is uncoordinated enough that he did. It’s not nothing....
Idk if some of the people here have selective memory loss or they just don’t care but the guy that’s matched up with Charles is the same guy that...
If only! But unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. I think that in and of itself is an amazing indicator of how powerful experience and wisdom can...
Norton was 16-0 to Garcia’s 12-2-1. Garcia had been stopped just 6 months prior too so I don’t think it was overly obvious at all or evident that...
I don’t favor any of them to beat Norton but that doesn’t mean one of them couldn’t. It probably wasn’t obvious that Jose Luis Garcia would stop him.

His hand speed was a bit on the slow side and his footwork was slow too. He couldn't cut off the ring effectively. I think he was good at beating...
Being much faster than Fury, having a higher ring IQ, better timing, and better precision. Charles was just a better fighter all around. If they...
Charles.
Dempsey trained in submission grappling so I definitely think he could shoot in on Tyson and heel hook him. If he stands and trades I still think...
Dempsey also was an adept submission grappler which makes all the difference and he could take a punch.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone here that thinks John L Sullivan would be significant in any other era other than his own. Hell, you’d be hard...
Why not both? So you can get one section of the forum that has never even heard of these older fighters and then you can get another section that...
