Jack Dempsey vs JIMMY YOUNG!!!!!

Maybe Dempsey raped someone in your family, which is why we are blessed with your miserable presents today.

 

I was being serious, but a bit speculative however. Afterall, his last name is Dempsey.

 

Tough one to call. Young would definitely pose problems for Dempsey, but Dempsey was a different type fighter than Foreman, who had all that mass, and tended to wear himself out when not successful in landing his big shots. Dempsey, I believe, was more resourceful, and would have perhaps beaten Young much like he did Tommy Gibbons in '21 (or was it '22?) I like the late Jimmy Young very much, and I appreciate the way he did his defensive magic against those big punchers that he fought, and who knows, maybe he would have frustrated Dempsey a little too much, and would have won a dull decision, but both men hypothetically at their best, I'd have to go with Dempsey by a very close decision.

 

BIG DEE HERE= Young has a chance but not a good one as I think Dempsey would trap Young into a corner and KO him. The thing that has absolutely
been missed by the historians and the general fan about the Dempsey vs
Gibbons fight is that Dempsey and Kerns had been paid for the fight but the only way out of the town was the train that wasn`t to leave untill 15 mins
after the end of the 15 rds. If Dempsey had KOed Gibbons quickly they would have had to stay around a town full of very unhappy people that had gotten
really screwed badly as nobody showed up for the damn fight. I have always
thought that Dempsey carried Gibbons so they could go from the ring
to the train and make their getaway with the cash. It makes all the sense
in the world especially if you study Dempsey`s actions in the fight he looks like he`s trying to go the distance and not for a KO. DEMPSEY KO 5 OVER
YOUNG AND MAYBE A 1ST RD KO IF HE JUMPS ALL OVER YOUNG AT THE GET-GO

 

Would anybody here pick George Foreman to beat Jimmy Young?

 

Would you pick Patterson over Liston?

 

I think Youngs movement and fast counterpunching would cause Jack some problems, but Dempseys power would cause Jimmy to cover up a lot more than punch, and move more than fight....Dempsey by UD

 

yes i would pick the 1974 version of Foreman over Young

 

Basically i do not see how anyone says Foreman could not beat a skilled boxer because Young beat him. The younger Foreman would not try to box but trap young and stop him. Very few, if any hw, had a chin like Ali and could take that kind of punishment. Young, as good as he was, would not beat a younger Foreman. Although Young would beat the 90's Foreman.
