Re: Jack Dempsey vs Nikolai Valuev
Valuev had a thick ass skull, and could take a punch, but he's so slow and lumbering that I ultimately think Dempsey is gonna just batter the living sh*t out of him, and bust him all to hell.
Not sure if he would ever drop Valuev, and it's possible Dempsey punches himself out against the Giant, but I don't think so. I'd have to favor Dempsey to stop the big man late in the bout.

Can't wait for someone to say.....
1. Today, Dempsey would be a cruiserweight and he's too small to compete at heavy.
2. All athletes are automatically better as the years go by.
Re: Jack Dempsey vs Nikolai Valuev
Dempsey would wear Valuev down with body punches and nailing him with left hooks and right hands to either take a decision or stopping him late.
