"Toledo" Dempsey vs 1994 Foreman

Shoot Man. I am sorry. Wrong Thread. I thought this was a different thread!

 

I think you just dislike old Foreman because you are hung up that people said he beats a prime Tyson. Also you rate Dempsey in your top 3 favorit boxers, making your opinion totaly bias towards him. Where as i although i probably prefer yong Foreman am about equal for both and i still stand by the fact that this is not as clear cut as you lie to belive.

 

I think it is pretty clear cut. I mean, if Tommy Morrison can out-box old Foreman, why would Dempsey have trouble? Dempsey was much more skilled than Morrison, with better feet, better defense and probably a better chin. It's true that come-back Morrison was troubled terribly by mediocre fighters, and Dempsey was far from mediocre.

 

Tommy Morrison was a heavyweight.

 

Sorry. Went off a bit, there. It just gets frustrating when eventually every thread related to Jack Dempsey eventually descends into the same discussion. It's been gone over again and again.

 

So that's all it comes down to for you, then? Size? Dempsey was a better boxer than Morrison, more mobile, tougher, more durable, more defensively sound and a better puncher yet somehow he couldn't do what Morrison did because he's smaller? Morrison wasn't in Dempsey's class, other fighters that gave comeback Foreman heaps of trouble were far from Dempsey's class, yet he couldn't do better than them?

 

Morrison may have been a heavyweight, but he had a chin like my grandma. Dempsey's use of angles, speed, and two fisted attack would pick apart a slow plodding old man like foreman. Difference between Holyfield and Dempsey is Jack had power, enough power to leave foreman staggering all over the ring.

 

Well what exactly do you think Dempsey was?

He won the title by beating a guy who was as big as Vitally Klitschko.

 

If you dont like what i am saying why did you come to me and specificaly ask me to post in here?

 

I think you did want a petty argument so i will step it up. Prep up for a petty war.

 

You stagger us too. And this is too strong of an opinion. Stylistically, 90's Foreman can still be formidable. But he's troubled and weak against many types of great fighters. Tyson and Dempsey aren't these ones.

 

This is viable, and the only chance for Dempsey. But I don't see Dempsey backing up and boxing. He was way too much of animal and he's going to dart in and out. Tommy fought off the back foot. That's one of the biggest differences. I just see a Foreman KO.

 

Yep
