    Conventional thinking says George by KO. However, think about Dempsey's speed, hunger and otherworldly power here.

    Somebody is getting destroyed here. What say you, in a 15 round fight with Dempsey era gloves?

    Foreman gets off the canvas to stop Dempsey in around rounds 2-3

    This would be the most stupidly, ridiculously brutal fight the heavyweight division has ever seen. Both dudes break something in the other. This would NOT be allowed to be aired today

    The fast, hungry, smart, in shape , body punching, vicious, dynamic dempsey of toledo may have been the most devastating and gifted boxer psychologically , physically, tactically the heavyweights ever saw....that said ive seen foreman train when in Prime and I just think his lack of quickness and defense not too mention stamina would cost him dearly...i think some other fighters might give dempsey more problems....but who knows

    I imagine it looking like the Dempsey firpo fight, except that Dempsey is the firpo here.

    Foreman.

    By destruction.

    The only man who fought pre-1960 who would have a chance against Foreman was Louis.

    And Foreman would still be the favourite.
