Yeah those are all good picks. Over on the Classic Forum, they’d probably have him losing to Gentleman Jim Corbett.
Somewhat related question here…is there any fight footage available of Dempsey prior to the Willard fight in July 1919?
Another thing I’d be interested in knowing…for those who are picking Marciano, how far back do you think we’d have to go in terms of lineal...
So can anyone just make a Wikipedia page for anyone they want to? I’d like to make some for some old time boxers from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Would plaster even provide any benefit? I remember they tested this out decades ago where one fighter purposefully loaded his gloves with plaster...
Thanks! I’d be interested to see what the difference is between skin gloves, hard gloves, and driving gloves…like a picture of all 3 side by side...
