Jack Dempsey vs. Jack Johnson

dempsey would i believe overwelm the slower paced johnson and ko him,he was to aggresive to be calmly held in a clench

 

The outcome to this fight would be known in a couple of rounds.

Can Johnson lock up Dempsey? If so he can frustrate him. Johnson can then allow Dempsey to blow himself out trying to get at him, and then take Dempsey down later on.

BUT Dempsey needed such a short space to get in his shots that maybe Johnson can't tie him up. Johnson's slow pace might be quickly overwhelmed by Dempsey's attack.

I think Dempsey's output would see him ahead at 10. Over 15 i think Johnson will have it...

 

I like Jack Johnson by K.O.
This is a Dreamfight...

 

Johnson would smother Dempsey ,tie him up inside and ride out the storm to take a dec.Johnson said Dempsey was "great for 4 rounds after that he is an ordinary fighter",that might be an oversimplification ,but I think he had the style to negate Dempsey's rushes.

 

as stated above dempsey only needed 6 inch to land a devastating uppercut,hook,or a # of many more blows including his devastating groin shot,but in his mid 20,s he would not be as staitionary as he was against tunney ,and johnson wasnt as quick,or as likely to run near as often as tunney.opinions well vary but i believe a younger-maybe24-28 yearold dempsey would be to much for johnson ducking,bobbing,slipping faster than ever attacking unrelentlessly and unless johnson held him constantly threw the biggest part of the match wich even an oldtime ref wouldnt allow,and a younger j.d could go many rounds such as gibbons and could outbox the most tech. boxer such as gibbons dempsey by 4 he would be to much uncontrolled aggression i.m.o.

 

Great match. Both had major inconsistencies so it's very difficult to pick.

Ughh... hurts my head even to make a decision on this one.

 

I believe that at his peak dempsey was the best heavyweight to ever of endadged in the nobel art. Johnson was a defensive genius and possesssed a right upercut that was perhaps the best ever for its aplication in close. However the atribute that would set the mannasa maular apart from johnson would be speed and power. There is a falsehood that johnson had legandry abiltys he was good but not great some jewish guy who corbett beat knocked him out marvin hart beat him and he wouldnt give any blacks a chance against him because ha knew at the time there was one or two who had a chance like langford. The controversy surronding his very public and deplorable public life has made the boxing public think that his skills matched his infamy

 

I would Take Dempsey to stop him in the first 6 rounds

 

Johnson: wide UD.

 

I think a lot of Johnson as a strong counter puncher and defensive wizard, However Dempsey was the best of the Modern era or the 1st Modern HVYWT.....Johnson would try to lure Dempsey into the early RDS and Dempsey would try to damage J.J. Early...who would impose there will, A prime Dempsey was a lot faster and crisp a puncher than Jeffies and Johnson was as good if not better than Tunney...would it be a hug fest, not if Dempsey had a say....I like Dempsey here, providing he could get inside Jacks arms with speed and power, Ketchel did ...Dempsey had that speed but Johnson could lull you into charging and pick you away and that could happen also

 

The way i see it is that if Johnson waits for Dempsey just take a look at the Willard Fight

remember Johnson was KOed in three by Choynski

 

I suggest you watch Dempsey in the clinches and wrestling. He was not a joker. He was a mean sob who threw hard kidney shots. If Johnson tried to make a 3 minute round into 1 minute of boxing by clinching, he would pay.

Johnson would not be able to tie up Dempsey. Dempsey was mover stalker with fast hands and TNT in both mitts. He would not be stationary for Johnson to jab, clinch, then uppercut.

Dempsey wins here, I think via mid round KO.

 

Yet he couldnt ko Gibbons ?Is there any part of my post that said Dempsey would be stationary? Don't suggest **** to me Mendoza ,I was watching Dempsey on super8mm 45 years ago. I have every bit of footage of Dempsey that is available.For the record ,I rate him the number 3 heavyweight of all time ,above Joe Louis.I dont require any lessons from you on William Harrison Dempsey.You should change your name from Mendoza to Battery ,you are so full of acid towards Johnson .A mean sob? Carpentier broke a clinch between Johnson and Moran,,Moran dropped his hands Johnson threw a right uppercut and broke his nose,thats mean.
