    Or you can come up with an intelligent retort and not some watered down Burt Sugar drivel.

    Who did Dempsey beat who were as good as the undefeated Byrd or the undefeated Tua head to head? Tua's active pursuing hooking was closer to Dempsey than anything Dempsey fought was closer to Ibeabuchi.

    Now, go ahead, smart young feller and respond.

    Have you read fight reports on the bouts, especially the second? Dempsey was gassed.

    This fight is interesting Ikes chin workrate and stamina have been tested and i believe he has the power to take Jack out but not vice versa Tua certainly had more concussive power and he could barely shake Ike Jack is faster more mobile and I believe the harder puncher but Ike is a block of granite with a work horses lungs and power to get the job done.

    Ike KO by 9 (Sadly)

    Dempsey fought no one as durable or as aggressive as Ike Jack couldn't even run from Ike for a cheap UD the master of flight in Byrd was eventually walked down and taken out and Dempsey had the heart of a lion no surrender in a ferocious war of wills with plenty of fireworks and Jack being knocked unconscious trading blows till the end.
