Jack Dempsey vs Joe Louis

In one corner you have the main man in the division during the roaring 20’s against the best fighter in the division during the 30’s and 40’s. Two dominant forces colliding with only one outcome guaranteed – there won’t be any need for the judges tonight.

The tale of the tape indicates a very evenly balanced set of boxers. Louis is 1 inch taller, has 3 inches in reach and about 6 lbs in weight very marginal benefits. In terms of power both hit very hard and could easily knock the other out, both are very fast with their hands, Jack has the stronger chin, stamina, heart and ring IQ favour Joe but not by a lot.

The build up for the fight got a bit spicy with Louis claiming Dempsey avoided the best black boxers during his time and that Jack was scared of what he was going to do to him in the ring. This riled up the Manassa Mauler who claimed he was scared of no man and never intentionally avoided anyone, his job was to fight whoever they put in front of him.
A raucous crowd are in the arena tonight expecting fireworks from the first bell. The crowd are very much split down the middle with both fighters having large contingencies of fans passionately cheering them on. Once in the ring neither man takes their eyes off the other, Louis is pacing back and forth while Dempsey stares ahead. Both giving each other death stares.

The bell sounds and these two lions are finally unleashed. Dempsey comes charging forward and starts throwing all manner of fast hard shots overwhelming Joe and forcing him to tie up. In between blocking the shots the odd one slipped through and Louis clearly felt the power and ferocity that Jack has. Once separated Louis starts throwing some beautiful combinations and Dempsey is momentarily stunned. As the round progresses Louis is noticing Jack’s lack of technical boxing skills and starts to establish his jab and his fast hands to beat Dempsey to the punch. Round one goes to Louis.
Round two and again Joe is taking a slightly more measured approach using his jab and nullifying Jack’s attacks. Dempsey is still having some successes landing some hurtful shots but just not enough to truly worry Joe. The Brown Bomber is already sensing the frustration of his opponent and immediately ups the pace throwing some blistering 3 and 4 punch combinations that are starting to have an effect.

Round 3 and Dempsey is now fully aware of the gap in skills between the two. Under normal circumstances that wouldn’t be too much of an issue because Jack has two great equalisers his speed and dynamite in both fists. However on this night he just happens to face a guy who’s just as fast and hits just as hard. Dempsey has to get in striking distance to actually land some meaningful shots the problem he’s having is to get in this position would mean entering Louis’s optimal range for his attacks. During the mid point of this round Louis has completely taken over the fight and actually knocks Jack down with 30 seconds to go. He manages to rise but the next two rounds consist of Louis using is incredible speed, reflexes and power to dismantle Dempsey.

After another knockdown in round six the fight is waved off with Jack completely out on his feet.

Verdict – TKO win to Louis round 6

Joe Louis vs Jack Dempsey the simulation results...These Fighters are close enough no one would sweep each other in a 5 fight series. So whatever gap that might exist in a single fight wouldn't exist in a series. Almost all the top fighters would have losses in a series against another top opponent.

Fight 1- Dempsey win KO 12
Fight 2- Dempsey Dec 15
Fight 3-Louis KO 6
fight 4- Louis Dec 15
Fight 5-Dempsey W (split) 15
Fight 6- Louis W 15

These Fighter's are back and Fourth. Louis ranks higher but Jack Dempsey can certainly beat him.
Dempsey I don't feel met his full potential, so how he would fare against better competion who know's where is true ceiling was at...But simulation show's it's rather higher than one might expect. Which may very well be possible.
Dempsey just like Jack Johnson could of "pushed" themselves more than reality offered.

Joe Louis didnt like to be presusrred,
and you can sure bet Dempsey would have came out him in the first round.

Yeah you can see how Arturo Godoy did (pressuring an opponent & Louis) & Dempsey was much more talented than that as pressuring opponent's.
Plus Dempsey had the great feature of turning extremly dangerous when hurt he had some real power when he got pissed.

Non the less I think it would be a back & fourth affair in a series. Louis would adjust to his style.

The OP account of the fight could very well happen. But no way would Louis dominant Dempsey over several fight's. You're going to need a much bigger gap in talent for someone to go 5-0 against an opponent (this is true for any fighter in the top 15)
