    Meehan beat Dempsey multiple times and was short. I was relating it to how you said Langford was a bad matchup for Dempsey.

    Eatman was a 3rd round KO victim of Marciano, the fight was 1 sided and Eatman was knocked down in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds

    2 = multiple

    Also I'm not the one you need to lecture, I was explaining the reason behind the poor performances in a comment above

    I'm not lecturing you or anyone else, just passing the time on a quiet Monday evening if you're going to get the hump every time you respond to my posts you should put me on ignore, it will save you any stress.

    I don't act like that, if someone gets on my nerves I should know how to disregard what they say. But I don't put people on block/ignore lol, seems coward-ish.

    I wasn't stressed out by what you said, sorry if I came off that way

    I think he noticably slowed in the Willard fight.

    I think Rocky runs the table and Dempsey beats Langford.

    To be fair, that first round was a fast paced 1 sided ass kicking, in 100+F heat, and dempsey had to run back to the ring after he accidentally left

    Well he threw everything including the kitchen sink at a man who outweighed him by 58lbs in an outdoor arena in July,hardly surprising he slowed a bit, apart from that fight, can you name another instance when he appeared to take his foot off the gas?

    Yeah I think I was wrong. I think my impression was overly skewed by the Willard fight, because that's how I think of Dempsey.

    Still I don't think he could maintain as hard a pace as Rocky.

    Marciano would overcome both of their strengths and IMO get them afther 5-6 rounds more than likely before the 10th

    I have always strongly believed that Marciano beats Dempsey. He was just more consistent over better competition, never got too flustered and shipped the requisite damage to stop Jack or at least win an overwhelming number of rounds. Jack comes out like a demon but this is no old, dinosaur in Willard. After 3 rounds, Marciano becomes the boss.

    Langford is the wild card here. He has all the power to take either but is it really the likely outcome?

    Well, then some young clever whippersnapper might deduce that I prefer Walcott to Willard.
