was dempsey a bum?

[smasher]

lol, yeah. and if you watch the first quarry fight, ali seems to be able to block jerry's left hook pretty well with his arms. i just don't understand why he did so poorly against frazier's left hook two fights later?

Because against Frazier Ali chose to hook with a hooker....

or maybe he didn't take frazier seriously.

[vargas]

nooo

of course not

or maybe he didn't take frazier seriously.

The first fight I don't think Ali took Frazier very serious, but still not lightly. The second fight Ali took Frazier the most seriously because he was determined to win and get a shot at Foreman.

Ali didn't take Frazier serious in the thrilla in manila. Frazier was thought to be shot by that point and Ali spend more time socialising than training in manila!

Dempsey's resume is garbage, which heavyweight did he beat? No one, i laugh at the white people that dont get off his ****.

[Awesom-O]

Dempsey was literally a bum.

He beat Carpentier, Gibbons, a prime Jack Sharkey, Willie Meehan, Firpo, and others. He has a solid resume.

I prefer the word hobo. It has a nicer ring to it.

A couple of light heavyweights, and 3 ****ty heavyweights, yeah what a great resume. Jack sharkey is considered one of the worst heavyweight champs from the 2oth century.

[Kid Achilles]

Jack Sharkey is considered one of the biggest wasted potentials in heavyweight history. I really need to avoid discussing boxing history with you. You're not an idiot, but you really don't have a firm grasp of these eras and the fighters that populated them. No offense meant but you're just out of your element here.
