    Jack Dempsey vs Sonny Liston

    Who would win this interesting match-up, I think that it will be Liston with his pole-axe jab and boxing skills. Agree, Disagree?

    I voted for Jack...... I just wanted to even the poll up. But Liston may be too big.

      If Firpo could knock Dempsey out of the ring, than Liston would knock him out of the galaxy.

      There is not a single rushing swarmer in history who could survive Liston.

      Liston KO4.

          Firpo was no feather puncher mate..... he knocked guys stone cold, and is one of the biggest punchers in HW history,....... he was amateurish next to Liston in all other aspects of the sport....... But if Firpo lande one of those on Liston's chin,...... Ali's story about Sonny being a "Human Satellite", would come true, and Firpo's biggest punches make Ali seem like the featherfisted one...... Firpo could HIT !!!
          2000th POST .. Yay !!

            Jack takes this with superior speed and savage body attack.

                There is a big size difference, but Dempsey has a massive advantage in speed.

                  Hardly Massive IMO.

                    About as much as the size difference I think..... Massive may be a bit too massive, with Jack his hand speed and foot speed was about the same, and Jack had very good head movement.
