Send in your light heavyweight to beat Jack Dempsey on July 4, 1919

Surprised Conn's not been mentioned yet.
Him and Tunney will do it.

 

Maybe but maybe Spinks and Ezzard.

 

I wouldn't favor any to beat Jack,,but I might throw Michael Spinks in there.

 

Proved to me vs Tyson he can’t be trusted to face the gut-check of Dempsey.

 

Your going to laugh but I would select VIRGIL HILL.
He isn't ever going to exchange with Dempsey and his movement and jab would be a nightmare for Dempsey.

 

I think Qawi would get mauled because back then they allowed for far rougher tactics on the inside and the gloves I believe were smaller.
I think going towards the storm would be disastrous.

 

I agree, Qawi was cautious after tasting Spinks power, he sure wouldn't like what Dempsey is throwing

 

Jones Jr has as good a chance as anyone.

 

Glass chin Roy Jones vs one of boxings quickest brutal ko punchers? Anyone put in the ring with prime Dempsey has to have solid whiskers to have any chance.

 

Size has nil to do with why he would be intimidated. I can’t give Spinks the benefit of the doubt if he knows who Dempsey is beforehand. I think he’d be petrified.

 

I don’t buy it, but let’s say he isn’t. Do you like Spinks’ chances if he keeps his head to win this? What kind of odds would you set?
