    What the **** is wrong with you pencil-dicks? Tyson dusts Dempsey within the first second of the first round. Open your ****ing eyes you stupid sons a' bitches.

    Dempsey had cleaned out top contenders by 1923, and did not defend for 3 years. They tried to make a fight with Harry Wills (who would lose to Sharkey and Uzcudum) but deal feel through. Dempsey was an animal, so was Tyson. Dempsey had beter chin (slightly) and could stay back and box at times. He could also still keep a fast pace after middle rounds. For you height and reach freaks, he was taller by 3 inches and had 4 inch reach advantage.

    Either guy could win, but I'd go with Dempsey. It would definatley be ko, whoever won. And a great fight.

    I say it ends in a double K.O. with both landing huge left hooks at the same time.

    It replaced Jack Dempsey's, just joking, really good post, it would have been interesting, if he had continued as champion.

    A joke thread. Dempsey would get murdered. If he's lucky he would get carried out on a stretcher.

    This! Tyson studied film of Dempsey. He patterned his style after Dempsey. Like Dempsey, Tyson would be shorter than most of his opponents and needed to work his way inside. Like Dempsey, Tyson would take viciousness and aggression in the ring to a higher level.

    But...Tyson was bigger, faster and probably stronger than Dempsey. Bigger, faster and stronger usually wins all else being equal. And it wouldn't be...

    Tyson had the advantage of another 50-60 years of nutritional, training and technique development. He had film and could study the past great fighters.

    Dempsey? He was unique for his time. His fighting style looks almost modern compared to the early fighters he faught. I give him props for inventing his style.
