HW. Who ya got? Throw a cruiser match in their but signify it. Dempsey era gloves (ounce?) 12 rounds. no 3 kd rule. Old school scoring. Not the ten point must. Go my sons.
The Toney who fought Jirov was in damn good shape. That was a war. And that version if Toney was about the same size as Dempsey.
One thing is for certain, this is going the distance. Dempsey was a master at bullying the smaller opposition with his power and forwards movement. Plus he had enough head movement to slip most of what came back at him. Toney was able to prevent Peter walking him down with his lateral movement and perfectly timed counters. This is a very even fight and whilst I lean towards Dempsey on points, Toney has the ability to take it himself.
It wold be a very good fight .. Toney has an iron chin and is very hard to fit flush but he lacks the power to seriously hurt Dempsey as well .. I like Jack by decision in a good fight ..
I think it's a pretty good fight...I think Dempsey's speed at heavyweight plays a big part. Dempsey by decision...and I'm a Toney apologist...
I can actually see Dempsey matching up well against Toney .. Dempsey's chin, Dempsey's very under rated ( by some ) conditioning, Dempsey's strength, Dempsey's speed and power .. the more I think it the more I like Jack and I'm a huge Toney admirer ..
