    Yeah you get it. I had to read it again with these tired eyes and was about to dumb it down but it was me who is in dire need of such a thing that and a big cup of Joe.

    Agreed he looked very twitchy against Big Bill Tate.

    Dempsey had blazing speed, surprising power, real KO power with his left hook and a very strong chin

    But i think he simply was not the complete fighter Charles was - and Charles could IMO weather an assault from the manassa mauler with slipping and ducking to avoid the worst, though i doubt the TOUGH Jack would grow disheartened if something like that ever happened.
    In the modern rule-set, i think Charles by a close decision, and Maybe Dempsey when it comes to the 1920's gloves rule-set.
    But this would be a war!

    The way they do it is similar to Dempsey with the switch step punch technique GGG does it Loma and Usyk do it as well
