Jack Dempsey vs Today's Heavyweights

[VG_Addict]

I thought we already covered that being bigger does not equate to an automatic win

No offence but YDSAB if you think charles ****ing martin beats jack dempsey

Dempsey had never fought a southpaw. Martin would give him fits.

[robertzimmerman]

He wouldn't be in the top 10.

Today's HWs are too big and strong for him. Don't give me that **** about Dempsey beating the likes of Willard and Firpo, because today's HWs are much, much more skilled than either of them.

Some of today's top 10 guys are garbage and have done nothing.

I'd have put my house on Jack beating a guy like Stiverne.

Oh, you're trolling.

OK. carryon Sir.

I would also like to add that 'big daddy browne' would make jack Dempsey his son...

1) he has more tattoos than dempsey

2) he has vast experience as a doorman in rugged australia and has KO'd many drunk ozzies

[robertzimmerman]

But in this case it does. Dempsey, who weighs around 190-200 lbs, would be grossly and unfairly, out-weighed by guys like Fury and the Klitz Bros, who usually weigh-in around 240-270 lbs. Dempsey would be a mere crusierweight by today's standards.

I'm talking about in general.

Mike Tyson was 5'11, with only a 71" reach.

Floyd Mayweather's reach is longer.

Dempsey's speed and style could get inside and beat SOME of today's top 15 guys.

But it's true. Dempsey never fought a southpaw in his career, much less one Martin's size.

[robertzimmerman]

Yes. All of them are much bigger than Dempsey.

You think he would have lost to everyone on that list, just because they were much bigger?

Oh my.

You mean to big and slow to not get KTFO.

How are they stronger??
They can't take any punishment.

A jab wobbles them

Skills....

What skills are you taking about???

You don't know

Carl Froch walks around 202lbs natural. His words exactly was "I am naturally 14 stone and a half". Convert that yourself.

Froch is 6'1" with a 75in reach.

Dempsey was 6'1" with a 77in reach.

How on god's green-blue earth is he not a Middleweight?

Let be more specific. Super Middleweight.

Hell, I'll even go as far as to say Froch is basically the modern Dempsey.

Just stop.

Carl walking around at that weight is fat and out of shape.

Jack was in peak condition weighing just under 200 pounds.

You don't know anything.

You think Jack didn't also walk around above 200 pounds when he wasn't fighting?

"Froch is basically the modern Dempsey" ?

What the hell has happened to this forum?

But it's true. Dempsey never fought a southpaw in his career, much less one Martin's size.

Martin never saw anything like Jack Dempsey.
