    Thought this might be an interesting matchup. Who wins? Beterbiev probably rehydrates to the high 180s so weight is probably roughly on par.

    Can we at least wait until these guys finish their primes before judging them against complete works of the past?

    No. We can't. We already know that Dempsey would clean out today's LHW and cruiser divsion and perhaps the heavyweight division. It's safe to say that Dempsey would unify the LHW, cruiser and heavyweight divsion today.
