jess willard was 112kg... like lennox lewis... lewis had very bad chin...(mccall,rahman,frank bruno) jack dempsey might win lewis, no debate.

well not just fun..he would go in and basically say he would fight anyone for money..but they where basically bar room brawls...that was his "amature" background...he won almost all..did lose a few..got stomped once bad by a huge dude..but that guy was a adult who was the toughest guy in the city and dempsey was 16 and weighted 120...dempsey also beat up to 20 something muggers who tried to mug him when he was 75, on his way to ali fraizer II...dempsey was a bad mo fo

Before he was a boxer this dude used to pick fights in bars with the biggest men he could find for fun

0:42 he did the depsey roll!! your the best no one can escape those blows

Nice video.

one other thing tyson and dempsey had in common was hand speed . Dempsey always liked to fight bigger slower fighters, ala Tyson where his power punches were unavoidable. The mauler was truly one of a kind. Its said he could run the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds too, thats fast!!!

britvroman, I think you made the best Jack Dempsey highlight I've seen yet. Much appreciated. When I'm on some combat-sports forum and Dempsey's name comes up, this is the clip I usually link up , directing them here. This and Coxs Corner's To Victory one. I'd embed, but you have embedding disabled. Thanks again.

david tua is coming back finally and hes similar to mike Tyson :O

The frame rates on the old cameras couldn't keep up with the true speed of the movement of the fights back then. That's why they sometimes look awkward.

well yea...as far as ranking heavyweights....of course if your saying...dempsey on his best night..aganst tyson on his best night..you have to give tyson the favorit given his size..but still i really like dempsey..and i wouldnt count out dempsey in a fight with tyson even given tysons size advantage.

what is that song and woooooooo jack dempsey

they don't? well I'm going to be the next jack dempsey. Then you'll have to stop saying stuff like that.

no they dont make them like that anymore, tyson was the last and he could of still been champ, longest ever, but he messed up big time,, shame really...

the tyson i was on about was only about for a few years , he messed up big time, so i will give dempsey the edge on that one,,

another thing is...dempsey isnt that much smaller then holy..about 20 pounds less of weightlifting muscle..but in reach...biceps...thighs..he is close, in google type in tale of the tape heavyweight champion and click on the first link

well in fairness to old jack..he was a bit old and ring rusty when he got in the ring with tunney..a prime dempsey may well have taken him...he did beat allot of guys who where good boxers...guys like tommy gibbons and george captiner... of course tyson would have been tough, do to tyson being a good 30 pounds heavier...having said that...dempsey had a good jab (77 inch reach) and could actually move well when he wanted too..so he may have tried to fight dempsey a bit differently..

i like jack dempsey, no doubt a great fighter, but not as great as you think, was only good against fighters who took it to him, as with gene tunney he was not very good against good stand up boxers who hit and move,, against a prime tyson he would of lost, and most def a prime ali would of caned him,, but a great fighter never the less,,

ali says all that..but as you watch him with howard...you can tell its the first time he ever saw most of the video..and he makes judgements based on a few seconds.

what you say may well have been true of jim jeffries..but in dempsey;s case its hard to find any racism..he had black sparing partners....who he by all accounts considered friends....if you watch dempsey willard...when dempsey KO"s willard...you see a very tall black guy get in the ring dancing around, that was bill tate...their is footage of them sparring on here...he was probaley one of the least racist guys for his time.

well truth is...dempsey was definitly better then anyone except harry wills...fight didnt get signed because of tex ricard..who had promoted willard johnson,...where their had been rioting and lots of lynchings...guys like jack johnson and sam legford where too far past their primes to have possed a real threat.

dempsey looks damn wild when taking out willard..as did baer aganst canera..but in other fights you can see they both had more skill then given credit for..having said that...dempsey has more skill..and is the harder man...mentally..id go with dempsey...

Id want to see Dempsey fight Max Baer; if u watch both of them fight, once they smell blood they become absolutely brutal. Lol they would just charge charge charge til one of them was dead

they still make them like that.

there was a black fighter that signed to fight dempsey, can't recall the name I'll look it up if anyone wants, anyways the guy was paying to fight dempsey turns out the money never got wired and the fight never happened.....I think the guy got scared

I believe that he was to proud to possibly lose to whom he considered an inferior man.
