Does Harry Wills have a case to be ranked higher than Jack Dempsey?

Stupid

 

Wills has no claim to be a better White Heavyweight.

But barring the color line, yes, Wills has an argument.

 

Certainly Wills has a case. A very strong case.

He was at the top longer. He beat better men. He won a higher percentage of his fights. He fought to a far older age. His percentage of tough fights was much higher.

The criticisms all fall back on the color line. He never beat a white champion. He fought the same black guys over and over because he had to with most white fighters ducking him.

 

It seems so.

 

Typical bait question. Not suprised. This is how you like to operate. You think your hiding your agenda ..please.
Wills looks like nothing on film absolutely nothing. Slow as molasses in a Canadian winter.

 

Not angry I just see through what your doing here. I stand by my assessment of Wills and always have. This is nothing new

 

You could make a fairly good case, but I wouldn't.

 

Dempsey and Wills might have been at the same stage of their careers ,but Dempsey was 20years old and Wills was 22.I'd argue that Wills would have been more physically developed than Dempsey was at the time.
