    Sure. LMAO.

    Cuz there's no tape of him leading with his face covered by a forearm getting into range.
    Even pitter pat combo's from Usyk would befuddle him.
    A counter UC from Gassiev would lie him down right next to Price in the MRI clinic

    Another thread giving credit to a man that back out of every chance to fight a black fighter and then just openly said he refuses to fight them. The gimp Jack Dempsey was truly a coward of the highest degree. He didn't want to prove whether he could beat any man in the world, just men who looked like him.
    Shout out to Jim Jeffries for having the fortitude to fight Johnson and try to prove his ideology instead of hiding in New York behind the mafia.

    Jack Dempsey could beat deez nuts.

    None of those guys were really much bigger than Ali, I think Foreman weighed in 3 lbs. heavier if I remember right.

    I don't believe it. I have seen exhaustively detailed threads on this website that show both that the damage to Willard was exaggerated, & deconstruct all the supposed evidence for loaded gloves.

    Dempsey is not my favorite due to sitting on the title & not facing everyone, but he won the title against a long inactive & gone to fat Willard fair & square.

    Lol!!!! You are familiar with the biggest fight in boxing history correct!? You know the one where Frazier beat and dropped the then unbeaten Muhammad Ali, surely you heard of it..??? In what alternate reality is Frazier good enough to beat that version of Ali but not these countless cruiserweights you keep mentioning.........

    Nice trolling

    Um, Frazier was his 3rd fight post Exile, he’d already handled Quarry and Bonavena. So Answer my question, are the cruiserweights you mentioned better than Muhammad Ali was at that point?

    Quite possibly.

    Usyk is for all intents and purposes, already an ATG CW.
    Gassiev, is just 24/25

    They both would destroy Frazier.

    Period
