Today's HWs are too big and strong for him. Don't give me that **** about Dempsey beating the likes of Willard and Firpo, because today's HWs are much, much more skilled than either of them.
I'd have put my house on Jack beating a guy like Stiverne.Last edited by robertzimmerman; 01-15-2017, 06:55 PM.

OK. carryon Sir.
I would also like to add that 'big daddy browne' would make jack Dempsey his son...
1) he has more tattoos than dempsey
2) he has vast experience as a doorman in rugged australia and has KO'd many drunk ozzies

Mike Tyson was 5'11, with only a 71" reach.
Floyd Mayweather's reach is longer.
Dempsey's speed and style could get inside and beat SOME of today's top 15 guys.

You mean to big and slow to not get KTFO.
How are they stronger??
They can't take any punishment.
A jab wobbles them
Skills....

Froch is 6'1" with a 75in reach.
Dempsey was 6'1" with a 77in reach.
How on god's green-blue earth is he not a Middleweight?
Let be more specific. Super Middleweight.
Hell, I'll even go as far as to say Froch is basically the modern Dempsey.
Carl walking around at that weight is fat and out of shape.
Jack was in peak condition weighing just under 200 pounds.
You don't know anything.
You think Jack didn't also walk around above 200 pounds when he wasn't fighting?
"Froch is basically the modern Dempsey" ?
What the hell has happened to this forum?
