How would dempsey do against todays Heavyweights?

[The Old LefHook]

Let's get something straight--Haye is a a juicer, plain and simple. Five or six years later, most of you look like churls from your old posts. Your hero Haye never did anything in heavyweight fights but run and hide. He never had a significant heavyweight victory. But given the chance, many idiots on here would still praise him and speak of him with wonder. Why, he's fast. His career is also almost over, and he did nothing but a lot of blabber. All but forgotten. And unless he KOs Dempsey with the first punch, he ain't winning.

They are no bigger than Willard, son. They had big men in those days, too. Why were they not winning many heavyweight titles back then? Because smaller heavyweights had a lot more skill and training. Only in this age of declining boxing skills are galoots once more competitive with smaller men possessing more skill. If skill and coordination came back, the galoots would have to once again leave boxing. Haye was a smaller man. Of course he did not actually have the skill to topple galoots the way a skilled man his size should be able to.

Are we saying he's a kid who was born in ~2000 turning pro in ~2018 or are we time traveling Dempsey from his days to 2018 with resulting Encino Man hijinx like Dempsey "weezing the juice" at 7 Eleven?

Dempsey should time travel to now. We want him to see queers on the streets holding hands and inducted into the armed services. When he sees how moderns pule and squall, his confidence is sure to grow.

That is the funner scenario.

I predict Dempsey would have a lot of DQ L's for hitting & trying to hit his opponent as he was getting up in that case.

Randomly that makes me think Victor Ortiz might actually be a better fighter if we switch Ortiz from now & Dempsey from back then. Although back then dumb guys like Ortiz would probably lose a hand to a random incident in those less safety measures taken times so he'd never make it in the ring maybe.

For those that think that Dempsey was unskilled and primitive, learn the moves that comprised the famed "Dempsey Triples", then go and try to learn how to do them. On a heavy bag, much less against an opponent.

Its like comparing a lacrosse player to a hockey player and then saying one is better than another.

The goals are different in Dempsey's time, so the training is different. Its that simple.
