Andre is 6'0'' and probably walks around 180-190, so he was about the same size as Tunney. Of course this is as hypothetical as a match gets, because they fought almost 100 years apart and as we know Tunney refused to fight blacks.
Kovalev has much better technique and more one-punch power than Dempsey ever had. Dempsey was not a smart guy - he chewed pine tar to strengthen his jaw for fucks sake. He was borderline retarded.
Second all of that..
