1920, the Schmeling who ko'd Louis steps in against the Dempsey who stopped Brennan in 13. 15 rounds. I'm assuming no neutral corner; if any of our Dempseyologists know differently, let us know! Who wins, and how?
It's hard to say. Verydifferent styles Schmeling started quite slow against Louis, (so did Louis a bit), and didn't have to move much ......

I guess the Schmeling argument is, if Brennan was able to put a right on Dempsey that had Dempsey fogged a while, would Schmeling, countering Jack on a somewhat off night for Dempsey, have been able to maintain the fog?
Yep, and I think he would have been able. But then I´m the biggest Schmeling supporter on here and when there is a chance to pick him, I do so.
