"Toledo" Dempsey vs current "living in America" Fury. Toledo Ohio Dempsey era rules and gloves. Who wins and how? I say Dempsey goes through him like a buzzsaw.
Dempsey with 1910s rules would likely beat him, though it's far from easy fight. I can also see him beating Fury in modern competition, but it would be even harder.
Fury stifles his early attack with length and footspeed, and after a few rounds Jack settles down into a relentless clowning by Tyson. Too much man. Too much skill.
Fury was a lot more cute than Willard, and would do much better at getting himself out of trouble. Having said that, Dempsey would catch up with him at some point.
The pounding Jack takes to the face on the way in means he will get worse as the fight goes on , not better. Fury tko late.
Fury moves better than any man even near his size and moves way faster than the clumsy Willard did, no comparison at all.
Fighting in a deep crouch makes a very tough target for a tall opponent. Punching down is ineffective and prime Dempsey closes distance faster than any hwt who ever lived. Dempsey will look in hyper fast motion in the ring with the fighting mess. Jack would use the Fury belly as a heavy bag within the first 20 seconds of the fight.
Fury withstood Wilder's and Wlad's power, how in the hell is Dempsey's power going to turn the tide? This is head-to-head, not legacy. Tell me the guys that Dempsey beat who would make a dent in today's division.
Fury is a POS mess. A train wreck. An prime example how watered down the hwt division has become. If you can’t see this YOU are an example of the casual fan who has been watching watered down talent for years they cannot determine great from ****. Any prime ATG beats the **** out of him.
