Could Jack Dempsey beat Frank Bruno?

Sure.

 

Easily.

Any all time great from Sullivan to Lewis would beat Bruno.

 

you live in a dream world.

 

Jack Dempsey had sparring partners better than Frank Bruno.

And I am British.

 

Frank bruno is better than willard, firpo and prolly most of his opponents.

 

No

Frank Bruno basicaly lost when he steped up in competition. He was nothig special in any era. He could catch lightning in a bottle for moments but would have needed a large measure of luck to be champion in a weak era.

Now he might have had a chance against Willard or Firpo on a good day but George Godfrey without the cuffs would have eaten him for breakfast.

 

Dempsey had been dead for 25 years and not stepped foot in a ring in 80. Yet we have about 7 threads concerning him.

Not bad for a Colorado coal miner, born in 1895.

 

Dempsey beats Bruno in one. Jack was a natural fighter fight, Frank was taught how to fight. Jack would do anything to win, Frank had to think about every move. First round hesitation against dempsey was fatal.

 

Do you think that Frank Bruno was better than George Godfrey or Larry Gaines?

I mean seriously?

 

Bruno would win most of the time under modern rules, Dempsey would not be able to get past his jab and would be chopped down with a right inside eight.

But in the 20s Bruno would not be able to cope with the lighter gloves and more physical style of fighting. Dempsey would blow Bruno away eventually... Bruno did have heart and a fair chin, but his lack of natural talent meant he lacked the survival instincts of a fighter like Dempsey.
