Toss of the coin if you ask me
Thats my Final Answer
dempsey had worse opposition-the fighter that actually had skill who dempsey fought was gene tunney.....and he lost 2x, other than that dempsey fought very weak opp. marciano atleast beat, charles, walcott, and moore who were much better than any of the oppositon dempsey had--charles was a much better fighter than tunney as well
