    don't see conn replicating the success of tunney. a prime dempsey was faster on his feet than louis, more aggressive from the beginning and would smother and bury conn in punches

    Im using the footage based on fighting similar fighters. Gibbons is alot more similar to Conn than Willard is....

    Conn was terrific against Louis but would Dempsey's faster pressure be his undoing? I think there's a chance that Conn would befuddle Dempsey and make him look poor for a while, but in the end you have to favour the heavyweight champion, not the light heavyweight champion.

    Jack by ko 8rds, much more intense pressure applied ,Billy eventually finds himself backed up with nowhere to go.
