Jack Demspey "sent Godoy reeling" in sparring, 1940

I was liking it up until this noise...

 

bump

 

I originally responded to his childish post but decided he has become someone to ignore completely ...

 

Frazier was a class above Dempsey as a fighter

 

atsch:huh:-(

 

Honestly I think Dempsey and Frazier are pretty close. I have to ask, was Dempsey really considered the best heavyweight of all time. I thought that just about everyone from that era, like Fleischer, had Jack Johnson ahead of him.

I think the 70's Duran is pretty close temperament wise.

 

joe's resume, though shorter, certainly lines up well with dempsey's. and his top wins (especially the FOTC) are well ahead of dempsey's. i wouldn't say they're on different levels but frazier is clearly ahead of dempsey all time imo

 

I didn't make it up people were talking about it in the lounge. Stop messaging me asking why I exposed you in front of all these guys.

well we ain't in the lounge

 

dempsey was good. its a pity because a lot of people underrate the guy. his destruction of willard was awesome.

 

all it said was you accussed him of being an irish guy that ****ed his cousin...he said he wasn't :blood that's not proof, that's offputting

 

That's the only link I could find. There's a few others out there.

 

LR, you are correct...Nat Fleischer always had Jack Johnson no.1 as a heavyweight...But in the 1950s polls 200 or so boxing writers had Jack Dempsey as the best heavyweight by a large majority with Joe Louis at no.2...
I have always felt that the young hungry Jack Dempsey's snarling temperment was a bigger and earlier edition of the later vicious Roberto Duran...They both fought like some opponent took their wallet...Two peas in the pod...
