Dempsey VS Today's active heavyweights

If Dempsey fought in today's era he would breeze through everyone except Wlad. He might have a little trouble with him, but he'll beat him nontheless.:good

 

How do you know that then?,bit big of you to say you know better then any one else here?
By any chance are you a black guy mate?,im sure as **** half the crap rocky marciano and dempsey get is because of there colour,and because they (defintly in dempseys case) are seen as racist or in a bad era,why dont people just admit its this reason.

By the way demspey was tysons fav fighter ever,he hero worshiped the guy,and sorry but ill defintly take the word of tyson over most people on this board,if he says he would be a threat in any era then thats good enough for me,tyson obviously copied parts of jacks style,both were vicious killers in the ring,and both are my 2 fav heavys ever to be honest.

 

You are right up to a point but when people turn around and say that this new generation of superheavyweights had a 40 lb weight advantage on sombody like Dempsey or Marciano you have to ask what you are getting for the 40 lbs. Perhaps verry little.

 

My experience is that fighters who come to the ring out of shape get away with it for many years but they eventualy cross a threshold where it catches up with them. James Toney being a case in point.

 

What does ones placement on the political spectrum have to do with Dempsey and the color line? I consider myself more left wing and i don't think dempsey purposely avoided black fighters. Where are you hearing this?

 

No but given their styles the point where it catches up with them is likley to be lower.

 

I think they were referring to Lewis, Bowe and the Klitschko's, who indeed don't have 40lb in weight on them, but rather more like 50-60lb.

 

To make it realistic, clone Dempsey and clone today's fighters, then train them all to be boxers. In 25 years, have a tournement with all of them. I bet Dempsey would do pretty darn well. Since we're talking fantasy here, might as go all the way and add som Sci-fi to the equation.

 

They are a diferent case. They genuinely do represent something that had not been before.

That dose not however mean that fighters like Peter and Maskaev represent a new generation of super heavyweights.

 

Galento deserved a title shot? You gotta be kidding me.

 

So steroids didn't work for you, huh?:think
