The difference is Marciano didn't draw the color line. Dempsey lived in an era in which the color line was virtually assured.
Obviously Sanchez, who was only 4 pounds bigger but beat the living hell out of Gomez. Sanchez could box, he could bang, he had defense, and a chin.
You would probably say that about Schmeling's KO over Louis too. He utterly dominated a less than his best Louis that night. Joe was overconfident...
Ike Williams was a tremendous fighter. Just watch him against Beau Jack!
Tyson by KO in about 6-7 rounds.

Prime Louis destroys Walcott and Charles. He fought Walcott when he was past-it, and Charles when he was way past-it. Louis was so damn good that...
Absolutely not. Among the reasons why I think Marciano is better than Dempsey.
This is a truly interesting thread, and a lot of excellent points have been made on both sides, but I have to admit I lean towards Burns for...
Right now the only fighters with even a remote chance to beat him would be Andre Ward or Artur Beterbiev.
I would pick Marciano because I think he beat far better fighters than Dempsey ever did. I think Marciano was a little better in every area,...
Probably Tua, but he'd be far behind on points at the time he knocked out Bruno.
I don't think folks realize just how good FOTC Frazier was. He was an absolute non-stop ball of ferocious energy. Constantly coming forward...
Toney's problem was that he could be outworked/outhustled, and no one ever outworked Marciano.
Speed kills. Roy Jones had it in abundance. And he had enough pop to get the job done, and maybe could score an early knock down. So I say Jones...
