    If Dempsey and his corner knows what’s good for him he refuses to answer the opening bell

    Dempsey had enough left to beat Jack Sharkey at this point, so that is enough to get him my vote.

    Dempsey would do everything he could to make the fight happen. Things just wouldn't work out.
    Another dream fight that never happened.

    Dempsey would crush him. Watch the second Tunney fight. Even faded that Dempsey could still fight. Tunney happened to be an exceptional cruiserweight. That Dempsey would beat a prime Spinks like Duran best Moore or worse.

    Dempsey of the Sharkey-Tunney fights was rusty but still had enough to KO Leon and I think pretty early 1-3, Leon would walk in and get hit - Tunney was a different type of fighter- excellent skills, movement and pretty good power but Spinks could only go in and mix, which would not abode too well for him. Dempsey smelled blood like a mako shark- his legs were shot but his rock like hands and power still enough to take Leon into Neon by rd 2 IMO
