    Dempsey wasn't ferocious nor prime at that point in his career. He was an immobile ***** cat.

    I think Tuney would chill and there would be a decision for him.

    What if he decides to trade, in his normal manner?

    He would get knocked out.

    Then we are trusting that he will make the same calculation that he made against Dempsey, and take the same improvised approach?

    I think it's a reasonable assumption given his reputation for clever boxing.

    Hmmmmm

    It is merely plausible.

    Fitzsimmons would be a smaller fighter, who would offer him more breathing room than Dempsey.

    He was prepared to go toe to toe with most people to be honest.
