I don't think Tunney or Dempsey could really have made an impact on the light HW division today, they don't have all around skills.

I think Kovalev would have knocked them out and the Andre Ward of a few years back clowned them.
When I was a boxing n00b and was ranting a raving about Tyson, all the old timer so called boxing experts would say "Pshhh, if you think Tyson could punch, you need to watch Dempsey vs Willard. Then watch Earnie Shavers. Those guys hit ten times harder than Tyson".

It didn't take long to realize that most of these so called experts just have a hard on for old dudes and these guys were overrated.

Dempsey looked like a fucking amateur throwing those wild haymakers at a Willard, who I am convinced had Down Syndrome or some shit. Dempsey sucked and Earnie Shavers sucked even harder (I know Shavers wasn't mentioned in this thread but fuck him anyway).

Dempsey was a punk, he pimped out his prostitute wife, dodged the war (like he dodged black fighters), and people want to ooh and ahh over his shovel hook. Yeesh.
