    Jack Dempsey vs Lennox Lewis in their prime

    who would win this fight and how would it unfold, Lewis at 6ft 5ins and 236lb against Dempsey at 6ft 1 1/2ins and 205lbs. Both men in their ultimate prime, please state how you think this fight would unfold and not just give the name of who you think would win.

    Lennox Lewis would win. Why?

    Because there's a big difference in how people fought during Lewis' time and during Dempsey's time. The newer fighters could much easily beat the older fighters of the 1920's. Lewis would knock Dempsey out after keeping him away with his jab.

      Are you going to turn this thread into another attempt at discrediting Lennox Lewis?

        Lewis was nothing but a glass-jawed hypejob who only took on has-beens, journeymen and exposed fighters (and ducked everyone else). Dempsey would beat Lewis easier than he beat Willard.

          Dempsey would be lucky to leave the ring alive

            Get your head out of Lewis ass damn. Lewis was knocked out by Rahman and McCall, two fighters were't in the same league as Demspey and both didnt much no wear near as hard as a prime Demspey either.

              As much as I love dempsy, theres no way he could even get close to Lewis. Lewis is no Jess Willard, his jab and right hand would put Dempsy out early with the way he trys to get in close.

              Dempsy was listed as being 190 most of the time TC, not 205.

                Dempsey gets steamrolled here. Both a technical and size mismatch.

                  Lewis will be ahead in the fight until he gets brutally KOed. Dempsey may have to cheat to accomplish this, but he'd get away it.

                  Orrr, maybe Lewis finishes a 12 rounder and takes the decision. Who knows. 15 round tho? Hmmph.
