    He isn't as explosive as RJJ or Foster or Tarver.

    I agree with you Burley.

    Dempsey isn't even in the top 100. A couple of big heavyweights from my gym hit harder than he did.

    This is a final warning for you. If you continue to brand people who disagree with you as white extremists you'll be removed.

    Dempsey hit hard. There is no doubt of it. He was probably on the level of a Kudryashov but obviously with better skills mobility...

    Not sure I would rank him as one of the hardest ever as I don't think much of his opposition. But he was certainly damaging enough to defeat almost any heavy given requisite rounds and if the rest of his game was up to snuff.

    Fury is not a puncher so maybe he does not hit how hard as Mike Tyson but lennox lewis for example.yes, he did hit harder than mike Tyson because apart from he was a puncher he was much bigger than Tyson. So yes, the size matters you have to deal with it

    Sorry, I haven't had any official prior warning from and mods officially. Can you tell me what I've posted that you have an issue with and why? I'm happy to debate with you

    Can we not point out racism in pre civil rights US on this forum? If so I suppose it isn't the place for me

    You have now.

    What I have an issue with is absolutely apparent: labelling people with whom you are disagreeing as white supremacist/racist/members of the Aryan league when they disagree with you.

    The matter is now closed.
