  2. Dempey boms out marciano in a couple ronds ,
    not without getting shook himself ,
    putting out a great fight .

    I simply can't think of one advantage Marciano has.

    Marciano. Beat better fighters. Liked firefights just fine. Is not the big dirigible type that Dempsey looked so good against. If Jack thought John Lester Johnson hurt him to the body, he would have another idea about pain after this one.

    49-0.

    Chin and power goes to Marciano. Speed and ring IQ goes to Dempsey. About even in my opinion. Either Marciano by tko in the late rounds or Dempsey by UD

    Marciano's bolognaise was way better than Dempsey's. Also I am guessing that his bisteccha alla Fiorentina would have run roughshod over what ever cut of meat Dempsey cared to bring :hey
