    Some of Dempsey’s best wins include Fulton, Gibbons, Levinsky, Miske, Brennan, Willard, Firpo

    Some of Rocky’s best include Charles, Moore, Walcott, LaStarza, Louis, Layne, Matthews

    Who would you rank higher?

    Dempsey also beat Carl Morris a few times. Nice wins.

    Carl Morris was held in such esteem that often the betting was more robust around whether he would actually show up to the fight instead of if he would win.

    Marciano by a mile. No comparison here, really.

    Marciano has the better resume but Dempsey has more modern sized heavies in his rogues gallery.
