    Definitely two of the most brutal/devastating title-winning performances at heavyweight in all of history.

    I remember this Sportsnight feature. I was amazed at Mike's knowledge of the history of the Heavyweights who came before him.

    They seem almost identical
    small guy beating crap out of bigger guy, winning the title in 2 rounds

    Dempsey was awesome in his prime. Very underrated nowadays

    Tyson was as big as Berbick. A little bit heavier in their fight, actually, but shorter.
    Willard managed 3 rounds with Dempsey.


    Yep. :good
    Underrated by some, anyway.

    Well he looks smaller than Trevor

    Oops my bad


    Yep. :good
    Problem is Dempsey was one of the first ATGs, with more and more fighters coming after him hes bound to get underrated/ignored
