    I know that this probably was done before (and probably more than once)...but I don´t wanna bump an 4 or 3 years old thread...no Thinblack here Lol

    And this is probably the most intriguing fantasy matchup at HW to me.....

    And both are from near eras, so it´s more fun to discuss IMO....

    Let´s say a 15 round Fight....

    Prime vs Prime

    Jack would win by unanimous decision.

    Dempsey by razor thin decision in a messy bout. Dempsey may put him on the canvas but Johnson carries on and spoils enough to make it very close.

    Johnson can't cage this tiger. So he focuses mostly on NOT getting hit by the 15-round hurricane of fast, powerful, shots that Dempsey continuously fires at him.

    Johnson by clear UD... Even scoring a couple of KD in the process.

    both could well go down i to think this fight could be messy and the ref would have to work hard at times . Dempsey by close decision a decision that Johnson would never accept

    Again along with Marciano and L.Lewis, Johnson is one of the most overated fighters on this forum. On film he looks like ****. A clutch and grag fighter who fought way back on his back foot. Pawed with the jab-slapped with a wide left hook and held and hit. This man made a career out of throwing uppercuts while holding in a clinch. Dempsey or any other great HW by KO.

    I favor Johnson by way of points. Jeffries himself said he couldnt ever hope to touch Johnson even in his prime. he was that untouchable

    Klondike, Choynski, Hart, OBrien, Ketchel, Johnson, Willard... Some of the guys who touched Johnson.

    Many of them touched a Jack not exactly in his best days.....and that against Ketchel, well, we all know how controversial that was.....
