Well perhaps, Willard was more happy on his farm/ stage acting or what ever he was doing. Dempsey on the other hand went into the movies and Hollywood. Dempsey really needs to have his star on the Hollywood walk of fame lol Regardless how Willard lived during his inactivity, I view it more Pre title, In shape Willard, near his best. Title Willard, well out of shape. And didn't really train much.
I just can't see an active Greg Page in the 14th round, which is the round I believe Page hits the deck in a terribly bad fight to watch
