What a great match up. I like Dempsey in this match up. His explosive starts give him a chance of hurting or possibly even stopping Marciano early. Dempsey was a great puncher but he could also be a great boxer and technician - see his fights against Carpentier and Gibbons. Dempsey had excellent lateral movement and was great at tucking his chin behind his left shoulder, and moving out of the range of punches. This would aid aim in defending against Marciano's great right hand. Tunney said that Dempsey was very difficult to hit cleanly on the jaw i.e. knock out. The key for Dempsey is to be aggressive but not careless early on when Marciano is at his most venerable. Don't walk into any big ammunition like as against Firpo, as Marciano was a far better finisher that the Wild Bull. The inside fighting in this fight would be awesome. Dempsey with his tremendous left hook to the body and uppercuts and Marciano with his great power, work rate and total hatred of being tied up. Very close fight, but if Marciano's great nights can include being knocked down and comfortably beaten by Walcott for 12 rounds, badly cut up by Charles, and knocked down by Moore, Dempsey should be able to account for him. Yes, Marciano recovered from all these situations to inflict KO defeats but Dempsey is a far superior fighter-puncher to these guys with enough mongrel and nous to take the bout.

Well the fact that Johnson would go home and change his suits like twice a day, and Dempsey fought so he could eat should really tip you off too who had it worse....

I think slavery was abolished in 1865, which would mean that probably Johnson was never or would become a slave.

his parents were former slaves.

That doesn't mean that he had a harder life than Dempsey.
