    You could honestly make an eminently plausible case for eitrher of them.

    If I had to call it, I would say that Dempsey probably hit harder with oine of those swinging left hooks that he really commited to, but that they were otherwise even.

    I lean Joe for pure and precise power, but Dempsey was just so freaking ferocious.

    Don't know who hit harder.

    IMO, Louis a touch better at ringing a guys bell; Dempsey better at beating the crap out of people.
