I think it is now time to do what they do in the amateurs and create a superheavy division, the over 230lb division because of the gigantic heavyweights these days. We could still pair a match between the two divisions when a great fighter emerges from the Heavyweight division to fight a Superheavyweight. Hard to say how a fast fisted hard punching Dempsey would do, it seemed he did very well against the bigger guys of his era like Willard and Firpo etc but struggled with the smaller men. I think Great fighters in lower weight classes would beat good fighters in higher divisions like Duran a natural 135lber moving up or Armstrong winning titles in multiple divisions or in modern times SRL

No need when you have a 212lb guy competing on solid terms with anyone and dropping big guys like flies when he connects.

The Miske that fought Dempsey was a very sick man. Read the Moyle biography. Bowe would have murdered that version... and probably any other version of Miske. Wake up.

Who said anything about that version?
