Jack Dempsey v Ray Mercer

 

This thread should be the impetus to create an Archived Threads forum, so that it can be moved there. :yep

 

Jack Dempsey vs. Frank Bruno

 

Wlad Klischko versus Michael Moorer

 

Mickey Walker vs Terry Norris

 

Willie Pep-Kevin Kelley.

 

Rocky Marciano vs Oliver McCall - probably a Marciano UD, but McCall has 50lbs of solid muscle on Marciano, if he lands like Moore did he can stop rocky. Rocky isnt going to bull around or brawl such a strong man. He would have to adapt but probably would as he is the better boxer

Jack Dempsey v Ray Mercer - arguably a better opponent than anyone Dempsey beat. Dempsey should have the speed/workrate to win a UD. Mercer fought close fights with Holyfield and Lewis, Dempsey isnt as good as them so might have

Jack Dempsey vs. Frank Bruno - Bruno has got 50lbs of solid muscle on Dempsey, and is certainly better than anyone Dempsey beat. Bruno has a great jab and outboxed Smith/Witherspoon/Lewis showing his skill. Bruno could fold late, nearly always found a way to lose the big 1s and could have mental issues. Dempsey doesnt have the power his fans think he has though and he showed against Tunney if you put a jab in his face he has nightmares, I'm torn on this 1

Wlad-Moorer - Wlad KO, too much power/size/speed/skill. This is the only match up where the white guy is a serious favourate, historically success 90years doesnt translate to a top HW in the 90s, hence Dempsey isnt a big favourate in his fights

Wlad is a far better HW than Dempsey or Marciano

Mickey Walker vs Terry Norris - Norris should box Walkers ears off, Walker had nightmares with fast skilled boxers and Norris would be the best he faced. Norris has a dodgy chin though, hence it could go either way. Walker lost to far worse fighters than Norris though in his prime
