Jack Dempsey vs Today's Heavyweights

[VG_Addict]

These threads are always cringe worthy. Some sig worthy material here though: "people are faster now"... REally? So genetically our autonomic nervous system has changed huh?

Um, yes, people are faster today. Just compare the Gold Medalist in the Men's Marathon in the 1924 Olympics to the Gold Medalist in the 2016 Olympics.

Tunney is one of the smoothest boxers that ever lived. 65 wins and only 1 loss, to the legendary Harry Greb.

Big lumbering oafs like Klitschko or a light hitting Fury would have had nothing for him.

Lumbering oafs? LOL You may want to watch some Willard and Baer vids .

THE 6'0 190 pound prancer ,limited power who leaped in and out as well with his hands down (yes these were INFERIOR outdated skills )is not going to out box the 6'6 SHW who had speed strength and ring IQ ,he wouldn't even beat Amatuer Wlad . Tunney didnt even fight prime Dempsey and struggled . Onlya fool would think Tunney defeats Klitchko ,go back to sleep .

Wlad is very athletic for his size. He'd KO Tunney.

All Klitschko has is size, a jab-right cross, and occasional left hook.

Tunney's footwork alone would tie him up in knots. Let alone his combinations.

That robot is not athletic....not unless you're in a wheelchair like LouCipher

It's obviously not your area of expertise. I've seen your video of you hitting the heavy bag...and lifting your back foot off the ground while you punch.

Cmon, non of this historical champs, like Dempsey, Jack Johnson wouldn`t have a chance against modern heavyweights. Be realistic, those guys were simple too small. And they were not muscular and strong like Mike Tyson. Even iron Mike was stopped when he faced much bigger guys ( Lennox).

Stop idealizing fighters from the past.
