In 1918?

Johnson is well past his best, and gets pummelled and knocked out. Probably around the 9th or 10th.

It'd be Johnson vs Jeffries with the roles reversed. Although Johnson was still active so I'm sure he would've made a better tussle out of than Jeffries made against him, but it wouldn't have been a good night for Johnson.

Dempsey by KO. If both in their primes, it would be the same.

Dempsey wouldn't even fight Johnson in their primes. He made a point of avoiding Black challengers.
