Would Jack Dempsey KO a prime Oliver McCall?

Pachilles,would he beat a 'black' postman patwa?

 

no. dempsey's strength, as has been said by jack sharkey, was his aggression. great, he'd be able to blitz mccall, maybe stun him but i see almost no chance that dempsey would knock him out. i also see almost no chance of forcing a stoppage as the fight went on. just because dempsey is better doesn't mean he can knock out any fighter who ever lived...ESPECIALLY one of the top 5 all time great heavyweight chins. dempsey was not that powerful a puncher, VERY powerful and definitely as janitor said a hell of a finisher. but that was when he had a guy hurt and could stand over him before he stood upright. if he never hurts mccall badly, that finishing won't be nearly as effective

 

All we can assume based on actual, literal fact, is that he would flat out refuse to fight a black postman.

 

But that postman was a bum anyway.....Lost to pingu...

 

it would be a repeat of Dempsey vs Willard... Manassa would maul him

 

yeah but Pingu is specifically a 4 round fighter, nobody in boxing history can defeat Pingu over 4 rounds

 

except willie meehan...or eric crumble

 

Will the Sun come up tomorrow? yep

 

Strange thread...strange thread.

 

I swear this whole Jack Dempsey thing going on is the old guys trolling us.

 

Would Dempsey really be that good of a finisher if he had to go to a neutral corner like 90% of all the other great finishers had to?

 

Coming from you this is ... strange.

 

i agree. i don't know, maybe one day i'll appreciate him but not today. the forum has done wonders educating me on langford and greb. but no matter what i hear about dempsey i'm not that impressed. other than some great, colourful description of his prowess his record and films leave a lot to be desired

 

meehan certainly. I doubt even the greatest could outbox him over 4, or Tyson put him away in 4. Dempsey wasn't able to, well thats what the newspapers said anyway, they were probably lying in this one single instance.

I know you suggest Eric Crumble in jest, but apply the logic of bodhi to it. Crumble fought far more and is vastly more experienced in 4 round fights than Roy Jones Jr is, so you just can't really justify picking Jones to beat Crumble. He never proved himself in 4 rounders. Add abit of beinstock logic to it, Crumble fought 32 times in 4 rounders! And this isnt even when men were men! He's fought more 4 rounders than most men who were men. ****ing Pingu incarnate.
