    Dempsey one thing that film captures, he will engage middle ring and if he gets the opponent in trouble he was a great finisher.

    Louis beat M Baer in '35, lost to Charles in '50. Maybe Charles could have been fought a bit earlier, Baer a little later (squeezing the interval between), but one would have to surmise a Dempsey who got first class training a few years earlier in his own career, and maintained himself far, far better, to imagine that a Dempsey, who would be favored against a still contending M Baer, would still be slight favored against a newly contending Charles. Not saying impossible, but a lot of un-realized/maintained potential would have to be actuated, along with savvy campaign strategy.

    No chance he lasts that long, IMO.

    You have to admit Ezzard Charles gives him a run for his money
