Fred Fulton beat an old Sam Langford, Firpo beat Willard and Willard beat an old Jack Johnson. They weren't that bad but Dempsey really destroyed them.

Gotta love Dempsey! Not just a brawler, the guy could box too. When you watch his fights you have to look for the subtle things he does: Slipping a punch here, rolling with another there. Then once inside using his footwork to keep him in position to punch while rendering his opponent unable to reply. A lot like Roberto Duran back in the 70s really. A lot of people thought Duran was just a brawler but when you looked for the subtle things you could see he was boxing his ass off.

He was a major contender starting with the Johnson era up until Dempsey ruined him.
