    Dempsey's main problem here, aside from giving away weight, is he didn't have a soild defense whereas Mike was more rounded and schooled. I have to favour him.

    Why not? Didn't he have any trainers who could teach him?

    I suggest this because 1000s of boxers could beat Dempsey because he was an average boxer, decent but not the best for his time but not a great boxer by any means.

    And throwing 2 uppercuts a fight doesn't mean you could fight inside. You don't understand infighting

    I would throw the same charge back at you.

    The uppercut is the most important punch in infighting, but still one of many.

    Summing up the opinions of the majority of ESB posters, Jack Dempsey would have trouble beating Paul Malinaggi. ESB has spoken, burn the record books, disregard the opinions of great boxing figures who saw him at his best,
    Dempsey couldn't uppercut, undercut, overcut, no jab, couldn't box, was a weak midget compared to today's uber sized fast staccato punching heavyweights, so I want to thank all the boxing experts on ESB for
    educating me on the true merits of a man who growing up , I was taught by
    men who saw Dempsey fight, yet raved about his prowess and toughness,
    but was I WRONG...Thanks ESB posters of your negatism...I shall repent!!!
