Wow, this is a long thread. Anyway, why are we comparing Dempsey with Mercer now? Height and reach? So what? Style? Totally different. Mercer was...
It wouldn't mean shlt... my point is that if both men came in ripped... Lewis is still much taller with a much longer reach and just a much bigger...
Dempsey beat some big guys but they weren't shlt compared to Lennox Lewis... and you know that!
Dempsey was great but he would probably cut down to 175 Lbs. in today's game... or be a small CW. 6'1" with a decent reach of 77" but 4" shorter...

Frazier vs. Liston during that time? Frazier by late round stoppage in a good fight Frazier vs. Patterson during that time? Frazier by late...
The results vs. common opponents have nothing to do with power. Tyson was more skilled... even if Cooper hit twice as hard, Tyson would have...
Good fight. Marciano stopped a well past prime but still clever and still tough Joe Louis. He stopped Jersey Joe Walcott twice. I think Walcott...
