    Seems a bit unfair matching him against people with a 50 pound advantage.

    As a 180 pound fighting machine he's amongst the best ever.

    But make someone give away 50 pounds every fight and they'll come unstuck obviously.

    Give him an extra 50 pounds himself though and who knows.

    why did he possess technique sometimes but not possess it others?

    What a coincidence, I'm having the same problem!

    When you say "In spite of his technique" you are implying that he could have had better success or the same level of success if he used what you would call "good technique".

    Sure you can form an opinion. Doesn't make it accurate. Of course I have formed mine, I've been watching Dempsey and boxing in general for years.

    And how many times did Willard go down because of Dempsey's "poor form"? Lol you look dumber in dumber every time you say Dempsey had poor form. You do know that Dempsey wrote an entire book on how to box right?

    That's yet again strawman. This has got to be some kind of classic section record for the most strawman from one poster.

    You can't accurately measure someone's speed when the film itself isn't showing real world time.[/QUOTE]
