Jack Dempsey's Punching Ability Compared to the 70s heavyweights

Im going with above average.
Hes up there with Foreman Shavers and Frazier.

 

What do u mean by ability?

 

Hes at the top echelon

 

He was far more skilled than Shavers, Foreman, Frazier. Not in any way comparable.

 

He's above average in every era.

 

Dempsey definitely above average great lefthook

 

If you take dempsey s punching ability /power to how it was in the twenty s and equate it to how he'd be in this era then very high. Hard , fast, crisp and accurate, he's banging out a lot of heavy s. On a par with Foreman, slightly higher than frazier and higher than Ali, lyle etc. He would have been involved in some high profile fight s no doubt s.

 

He's below Shavers and Foreman, but so's all of humanity

 

Would hit hard in any era .very dangerous fighter.

 

He would be the most dangerous finisher of that era, if not the hardest puncher overall.

Some of these threads about Dempsey's punching ability seem a bit silly.

He was as good at the specific things that he was good at, as any heavyweight in history as ever been, and most of that was down to his nuanced punching technique.
