Jack Dempsey v Muhammad ali

Dempsey would catch up to him. Dempsey was fast, and guys his size had given Ali trouble. He also hit hard with either hand, unlike Frazier, and was great inside, tough to tie up, which Ali often did to buy time.

 

Ali shutout

 

Where is Burt when you really need him....

 

Perhaps Holyfield @ CW..and I wouldn't be certain about that either....Outside of him I can't think of a one!

 

Holyfield. That's about it.

 

Perhaps...Qawi could out hustle Dempsey to a dec. But I don't see it. The only one I would be willing to wager is Holyfield but wouldn't be 100% certain with that pick either.

 

It is not people picking Ali to win that I take issue with.

Suggesting that the fight would not be competitive, is preposterous however.

If guys like Doug Jones and Henry Cooper could give Ali problems, then you have to conclude that Jack Dempsey would be an extremely dangerous oponent for him.

 

I'd probably put my mortgage, if I had one, on an Ali win.

 

Yes, shocks do happen, on occasion, but if I was to put money on this fight then I'd have no hesitation in putting a lot on Ali. Tyson's character could often be questioned. Ali's could not.

 

I doubt you would venture anything more serious than an avatar bet, if this was a real world fight where your prediction was actualy going to be put to the test.

It is funny how bold people can be with their predictions in fantasy fights, when there is no prospect of them ever being tested.

 

He was always known to be prone to frustration though.
