1) On the list of the following heavyweights, place next to each heavyweights name either 'DEMPSEY', 'JOHNSON' or 'EVEN', depending on who you think would have the better chance, eg, if you think Jack Dempsey has a better chance against Frazier, then put 'DEMPSEY' next to Fraziers name; if you think Jack Johnson has a better chance against Frazier, then put 'JOHNSON' next to Fraziers name; if you think they have the same chance against Frazier, then put 'EVEN' next to Fraziers name.

Johnson had a shaky chin vs power punchers, and would be unlikely to counter or play defense vs Dempsey's excellent hand speed. If Johnson tried to clinch Dempsey, his kidney's would be sorry. IMO, Dempsey wins via mid round TKO. There is a Dempsey vs Johnson fight report where Dempsey scored a KO in Canada, but its is considered to be a fake.
