How is Dempsey crude? What has he done that shows he is crude?
I invite you to watch the Brennan fight on .25 speed, study Dempsey's movements. You will see that his defense was really good, just as good as his offense.
I feel it's important to distinguish between this era & Dempseys. This sport has come a long way evidenced by amateur systems, rule changes, technology & the like.
I don't want to demean Dempsey when I say crude. However if you transported him from footage available & matched him vs the best Super HW's he'd get beat 9/10 times. Best thing about this is you could disagree because it's hypothetical.

Dempsey would walk directly on to a right/left straight as he gets square on how many times??. At the top level in this day & age you'll get punished in any weight class unless you could transition seamlessly between stances like Terence Crawford.
Another reason why I think this is the case is simply down to evolution. Techniques get refined over time especially in sport. We're human we get smarter as time goes on. It's not some magical concept as to why I consider Dempsey crude. Countries such as the USA, Russia(Soviet) & UK have been breeding (see Olympic squad average age) for well over half a century. If you've ever worked in a company with a research & development department you'd get where I'm coming from.
We have the IPhone 7 because we had the IPhone 6. We had the IPhone 6 because we had the IPhone 5. Do you understand this analogy?. It's as layman as I'm going to get.

This isnt a knock on them everyone has to learn but no one in actual top level boxing fights like Demspey in terms of skills (maybe style)...if they did they would be mocked, i said i wouldnt entertain this thread but im bored......only nostalgists THINK he was this god...please....for christ sakes...LMAO...and again LMAOLast edited by juggernaut666; 06-29-2017, 10:26 PM.Ascended REMOVE SHARK 55 like this.
