Where did Langford see Dempsey fight to reach these conclusions? How in the hell would he know if Dempsey hit harder than Jeffries?
How many guys that outweighed him by 30 lbs did Dempsey fight? Three? And if guys like Georges Carpentier and Battling Levinsky were the hardest...

The main reason that smaller gloves are more dangerous is that the gloved fist (and the body behind it) decelerates quicker (than with more padded...

Dempsey's power is laughably overrated. Dempsey wore, what, 5 ounce gloves for most of his fights? That's little more than a piece of tape and...
When did you last see the fight? I haven't seen it in a long time but I had Leonard winning clearly.
This discussion is absolutely asinine. It's completely speculative. If Marciano was born 50 years later, he might have become an accountant. There...
