Jack Dempsey Circa 1919 V George Foreman Circa 1973

[TheOneIsHere2008]

I have to go with Big George...There is not a pressure fighter alive or dead that can beat him...

In 1919 they were all undernorished. Foreman 1973.

Dempsey, in this era atleast started to maul and attack from the get
go, whereas Frazier took a little longer to get into the game.

Dempsey would come out aggressive and try assaulting Foreman.
Foreman would ram some hard shots into Dempsey, who with all
of his aggression and attitude would be some what open as he
unloads.

I dont see the fight being a quick blow out as say 1973 Frazier-Foreman
but I do see Foreman being the victor with a TKO win after 4 or
5 rounds.


As for Foreman being able to beat every pressure fighter ever, thats
a tall call, maybe no one told Dwight Qawi this when he fought
Foreman.

In any case I think Frazier from 1969 would give Foreman a very
painful night, unlike his one shot champion form.

One could argue that Holyfield is a pressure fighter and I think he
would beat a peak Foreman.

I also feel Tyson, who is a pressure guy would also give Foreman a
tough night.

One thing that Dempsey had back then was primal ferocity.

If Dempsey survives the first two rounds the fight is his. Dempsey was faster, had much more fluid footwork, and a harder one-shot puncher than Frazier, and even Foreman's iron jaw is not going to withstand too many Dempsey hooks slipped under his wide shots. Of course, Foreman was a GREAT starter and an awful fight in the early rounds for any all-steam ahead pressure fighter. The first round would be a classic.
