Could Jack Dempsey become a 4 division world champion today ?

[club fighter]

Not a chance.
Tough as he was, no way does a fighter from that era, with that size, using ancient ring skills and tactics beat todays fighters. Just from the change in gloves over the years, punching techniques themselves have changed, not to mention footwork and ring strategy has evolved.

What if he gets the benefit of modern training ?

I don't think he meant time machine I think he meant had Jack been born in the modern era.

why is always "if he gets benefit of modern training"

[Dempsey19]

Mainly because everybody was saying he would be completely outclassed.

[Dempsey19]

Not initially, but with everyone saying he'd have no chance, I've changed the question.

Heavyweight and Cruiserweight? Most definately not!
