Damn Ice Man, you really chose something hard to decipher but Dempsey was in an era where diet and exercise, let alone training was iffy at best. This is a topic whereas if you had to come up with an answer it would have to be with ice water in your veins because this one pits a mauler against a brawler and as someone said before and all things being equal, it's who wants it more and they both did. If I had to pick it by eras, I would pick Marciano because he benefited from modern training and diet. The cold beers he used to drink to keep his weight up made him a happier fighter no doubt. Then there is the other factor. What if things were reversed and I might be leaning toward Dempsey but for now it's the Rock.
