This footage is about 90 years old.
But you can still tell that even Jack Dempsey's muscles have muscles.
IMOP He almost resembles a skinned Mountain Lion!

Re: Jack Dempsey flexes
I laugh when peopel say he was "too small" for heavyweights today. The guy was a freak of nature, and hit much harder than the likes of David "this little piggie went to the market" Haye . .Brutu wrote:This footage is about 90 years old.

That midget shown in the footage couldn't possibly have dealt with a Solis for instance. The guy outslicked VK for 1/2 a round and is so much heavier than that Dempsey. :P
I think young Tyson might have been the last specimen perfectly shaped to maximize what a boxer needs in order to be efficient. Same with Dempsey. Using their legs, hips and back to fully transfer their solid muscular weight into a punch is what made them so good in the offense department, among other things.
Biceps size don't mean shit if you throw a punch like a Briggs or McCline. They only slow you down, suck your energy faster as they require more oxygen for nothing.
