Jack Dempsey versus 1974 Muhammad Ali

[goose 5]

15 rounds.

C'mon man? What is this? Do you think that Muhammad Ali would lose to a guy with primitive skills like Jack Dempsey?

If Gene Tunney outboxes Dempsey, what would happen against a guy that is taller, faster, heavier and that can hit hard like Ali?

Ali by obliteration!

[gilgamesh]

I'd favor Ali to win a close, competitive bout. Dempsey was a tough swarmed with heavy hands so he'd definitely give Ali problems. I assume we're picturing Dempsey at his 1919 best right?

[goose 5]

Yes, peak Jack. I'd take Ali and agree with Elmer.
