Imo the Dempsey era was the turning point in boxing. Fighters with better more modern style skills appeared but they didn't entirely forget some...
That all has to be taken in context. In the Corbett fight Fitz looks pretty one dimensional.
Dude that was in 1917 when Dempsey barely scratched heavyweight, wanted to quit the fight game, and was an unpolished slugger. He was actually...
Name me the multiple men that stopped prime Dempsey. I'll wait.
Ali was extremely susceptible to the left hook. 75% of his knockdowns were from a left hook if you count Wepner (100% if you don't). That's...

You realize that was voiced over several years later right? The first two were close fights with Evander winning the second one. Holyfield was...
