Of course you are right. By those who saw him, Dempsey was comsidered the best or one of the top 5 best heavies ever. By men who saw 70 years of boxing. But now RJJ, Toney, Huck Finn, Richie Cunningham and Potsie Weber kick his ass. Next week, if he beats Martinez, we will have JCC Jr. vs. Rocky Marciano and some ******* will say JCC by ko. Let's just take 100 years of boxing facts and experienced opinions on Dempsey and throw them out, because some kids decide they (with their undeniable expertise) decide they don't hold Dempsey in high regard. Give me a f$%%^$kin' break
Exactly shj! I sincerely do despair...the world has gone mad... I do actually despair for the views of the history of boxing...it seems some of the new recruits of the classic foeum of ESB can't see beyond the tale of the tape...whatever next...Johnny Nelson KO1 Joe Louis?
It's stretching it a bit to say he wouldn't get in the ring, Huck would be the bigger man for once in this one, not to say it would be easy.
