He KO's Floyd Patterson, and I'd say he has a decent shot at beating Rocky Marciano (though I'd favor Rocky). I don't see him beating the rest of them.

[dempseyfire]

I'd favor him against all of them except Louis, Liston, Ali and possibly Foreman.

[gilgamesh]

I skimmed over Liston's name when I first read the list. I'd favor him to beat Liston as well.

[yancey]

Dempsey knocks out Patterson.

I think he is 50/50 against Marciano, maybe slightly better. What a terrific fight that would be.

His next best chance (but less than 50/50) would probably be against Frazier, mainly due to Frazier being such a slow starter. I think Joe ultimately punches him out.

I'd favor all of the others over him.

Too far removed in eras to say with any certainty at all.
