    OK, so first off we have the legend Jack Dempsey, of the infamous Tommy Gibbons fight in Shelby. Gibbons, of course took Jack 15 rounds.
    In the opposite corner we have James J Corbett of his title win over Sullivan.
    So 15 rounds, can Corbett beat the Mauler? Or is he ripped to bits by Jack?

    Dempsey would have eaten his cornflakes out of Corbett's skull!

    I could hear an argument for Gibbons beating Corbett tbh

    No doubt Dempsey was off that night but Dempsey still knocks Corbett out

    I'll go with this. Not saying jack bombs him out in 91 seconds, but he'd catch him.
