Prime Dempsey vs Eddie Machen Cleveland Williams Zora Folley Roy Harris Howard King Wayne Bethea Albert Westphal Could he pull a Liston and go undefeated against this rogues gallery?
Machen would pose trouble a defensively sound mover that could exploit Dempsey’s wide open attacks after first couple of rounds. He would Ko Folley who didn’t have a great chin. Honestly he Could beat all these guys he was a dynamic talent but my guess is, if he fights all of them in succession he drops 1 maybe 2.
Tbh I don't see him dropping any, even in a gauntlet. After Folley, there's a stark drop off in terms of quality.
I can envision a few scenarios for the Machen fight, ranging from a quick blowout to a hard-fought decision, but I'd favor Dempsey in almost any of them. Williams' combined size & power could pose a hypothetical threat, even if Dempsey has disposed of opponents that possessed comparable or greater size &/or power. Foley tends to stand flatfooted & would eventually fall to Dempsey's fast & unpredictable attack IMO. the rest are easy pickins.
