Do you think Jack Dempsey is overrated?

[Kinetic Linking]

Any way you look at it he's not overrated. Peak ability was totally legendary as I already said. Career? He went from hobo to heavyweight champ during the golden age of boxing and kept the title for 7 years. Legendary.

You have to understand what that era was like. His title reign looks bad taken out of context, but under the circumstances it was great.

Jack Dempsey vs Joe Frazier would answer a lot of questions for me about Jack. I just can't see Jack beating a guy like Ali.

I rate him #11 Heavyweight (still ahead of Frazier by the way), and p4p he'd make my top 100. Maybe top 75. Top 50...nah.

11's about right.. I have him there to, but I don't think Frazier should be lower..

About Marciano, people tend to overrate or underrate him. The knock on him is all his big fights were against older guys but really Moore, Walcott and Charles were among the most skilled ring saavy fighters ever.

i agree with you, all 3 would be a match for any fighter
