    Prior to Schmeling maybe Tunney, after him, in his prime he'd light up everyone of them.
    Especially Dempsey and Johnson.

    Johnson and Dempsey have good chances vs Louis.

    Louis had faster hands than Dempsey. His combinations were lightning fast.

    Jess Willard. Just too big and strong.

    Yes, joe didn’t have the quickest feet so I can’t see how he’d get past someone who can keep a large gap like Lewis can. Also Lewis has the the power too get joe’s respect.

    Hell, it didn't matter though. Dempsey, small compared to Willard, and still small compared to Louis, beat the absolute **** out of Willard and it only took three rounds!

    Yeah, I forgot about ol Jess. He's got that farm strength. From tossing bales of hay. There's nothing like tossing bales of hay and scooping up horse manure on a shovel to give you farm strength. Everybody wants it, but few people have it. Farm muscles are a forgotten ingredient in making world boxing champions :deal: Jess got big and powerful eating corn and tossing hay. ;)

    Dempsey hurt s him early and never let's him recover, that's his best bet. Tunney maybe but over 15 s going to be hard.

    Willard had a great jab and uppercut and was very strong.
