Prime Tyson and Prime Dempsey

looks ok

 

Round 2 - Tyson realizes he's in for a beating and attacks the referee to earn a disqualification.

 

I agree with McGrains prediction.

 

tough to predict, chances are 50/50. You never know how Mike would react against elite boxer in his prime

 

Dempsey is a better boxer?!?

Tyson would crush Dempsey.

 

Tyson take this one quickly. Hate to sound like someone from General, but Tyson was in most cases like an improved prototype of Dempsey. Bigger, faster, more technically developed and more powerful. Dempsey might well have been the mentally tougher of the two, but in this match-up this doesn't really become a factor.

 

i aint picking no winner but what a war

 

You all have it all wrong Dempsey would outbox Tyson frustrating him. Tyson will of course pee his pants and quit on his stool in the 9th round.
Ok enough with the sarcasism (for now).
Tyson is bigger stronger and faster (I seem to say this a lot in posts about Tyson in these prime for prime match ups because it is true.) than Dempsey. Dempsey might have the toughness to carry him farther than the first three rounds but not much farther. Tyson with in 5 rounds.

 

Jack beats the tatoo off tyson, ko 5 rds

 

Keep in mind Tyson was pretty good at not getting hit.

 

Dempsey...overall, better conditioned, better mental makeup, every bit as fast, could go several rounds, wasnt above chasing a man down, could actually box when required of him he wasnt just a brawler....

Tyson....bigger, stronger, better defense...

Both could take punishment, but I give Dempsey an edge...

Hard prediction to make, but it ends when the first real FLUSH shot lands.

 

Tyson would stop Dempsey early. I really don't think that its a good idea to give up 25-30lbs to Mike, and be slower.
