Then you read the back and fourth, a lot of it makes sense from both sides... I look at two things regarding Dempsey:
1) By a freak of chronology, many of the men who considered Jack the very best, had seen up to Mike Tyson, some? had seen Johnson, and some beyond Tyson. This has to count for something. This includes Tunney who fought Greb also...
2) You have to be excellent to have survived Tunney. I personally consider Tunney underestimated as an ATG. Win, or lose, The Dempsey fights were close affairs, and as JAB said? If that long count was a little less long... Dempsey beats perhaps the best light heavy ever.
Just my two cents...
