    He would probably go .500. That's too much consistent quality compared to his actual resume.

    Too much quality by guys with good skill. Dempsey loses two or 3 of those goes 6-3, 7-2 imo.

    Seems like Dempsey has gone from being slightly overrated to really underrated on this forum.

    Charles - Moore and Johnson would be tough but I think he gets past Johnson with power - Charles at 190 lbs and Archie would be tough - Charles for Dempsey - tough - Dempsey power edge though

    Not really. Keep in mind, Dempsey fought in a time where HW started at 176 pounds and when it was common for light heavies to swap back and forth between fighting at HW and LHW. Many of those men would have fought at heavy had they been around in that era. And they likely would have done pretty well.
