    Wow. Willard looks horrible. Is this version of Willard the worst standing champion to defend the title? He's a mess.

    Credit to Jack to plow through what was put before him.

    Maybe that pear shaped pudgy middleweight.

    Browne is also pretty bad, but I guess he doesn't count.
    And he may very well be better.

    Pre-TV, pre-film, COLOR-LINE DRAWN, just over 25 years into MDQ boxing... those folks had a lot of reference to make those estimations.

    Surprised one or the other guy didn't maneuver his opponent so that the sun was in his eyes.

    I think the internet is the greatest tool in history for boxings advancement. We can watch the best fighter of every decade side by side, at the same time.

    Willard looks like he thought head movement was a sign of weakness.

    Some good side to side movement by Dempsey early on. He gave Willard some angles before launching into is attack

    Does anyone else think that Dempseys footwork here is similar to a prime Ali?

    Look how much of the ring he covers, and how quickly he moves. Tell me Ali doesn't cover the ring like that, with that kind of fleet of foot, agility, and balance.
