    That’s kind of funny isn’t it janitor? You making that statement when Dempsey’s record raises as many questions as any heavyweight great I’ve ever studied!!!!

    I don't know.....he may have given Bowe or Foreman circa 2018 a run for their money

    The only complaints I have with prime Bowe is that he didn't use his height and reach to his full advantage and was there to be hit. He had a decent heavyweight chin but not anything Ali level. With those flaws, I can see how some may pick a puncher like Dempsey to win, but I think a peak Bowe gets there first with the most. If Bowe had an Ali level chin, Bowe would be virtually guaranteed a victory

    Bowe never even took a shot from a puncher in the same league as Dempsey. He beat Cooper but Cooper didn't even land a good shot.
    Evander and Golota were decent-good but nowhere great Punchers in terms of pure power but had him in really really bad shape with single punches.
    If Bowe survives the early storm which he is likely to try to face head on, he manhandling inround4 and crushing Dempsey before the end of round 7
