    He would easily beat the bloated carcass of Jess Willard that fought Dempsey.

    I don't think anyone put a gun to his head to fight

    he wouldn't beat anyone. Parksinsons was setting in, surely. NO parkinsons patients is beating a hw champ.

    besides he was already at least 2 years past doing that, he needed leon spinks to manufacture a comeback last time.

    He'd beat a good few of the worse champions, this is some highlights of the Berbick fight for those that haven't seen it. Against a lesser opponent he still gets off well. He had Parkinson's but look at what a brain damaged MW Toney could still do to the HW scene.

    That's unfair Neon Leon, he'd have beat the pre Johnson HWs and possibly Willard over 12 or 15. Crica '80 Ali could do the same.
