For Ramonza. Ramonza do me a favour and picture Ike in black and white maybe then you will realize Ike would put Dempsey in a coma.
Seriously man, you're completely deluded. Ibeabuchi would've separated Dempsey's head from his shoulders in round 1.
The feelings mutual, mate. Cheers. Ibeabuchi fought no one, beat no one. But lets be honest --- the only credibility you need in this forum is to have boxed post-1930. Most of the crew here would take Bruce Seldon to beat Dempsey.
You can believe that if you want to buddy. Both Ike and Tua would slaughter Dempsey within 2-3. It'd be a minor MIRACLE if Dempsey lasted 1 with Tyson.
I wonder what Mike would tell you if you said that to him? I think we both know...but what would Tyson know, right?
Dempsey is his idol. Mike would tell you that Dempsey would destroy him. Unfortuntely for you...... thats just Mike being humble. Tyson would have obliterated Dempsey, and virtually EVERYBODY would say the same, save for you. Tommy Morrison would obliterate Dempsey.
Of course it is. Tyson's being humble, Arcel (and an army of other noted figures in Boxing history, past and present) is being sentimental, Ramonza must be an old man...there's always an excuse for an opinion to the contrary. Who has to disagree with you in order to take an opposing view seriously? The answer is of course nobody. And Im the close-minded one around here.
I dunno about close-minded, but you're the most bitter/grumpy poster on the forum. We have guys like Neil and Irish, who just like to fuck with people in jest. Then theres Double and Sly, who often say outlandish shit, but both are pretty knowledgeable and dont take themselves toooooo seriously. Then theres you...... the surly old man of the forum who takes every disagreement as a personal attack, and worships b&w fighters.
Ramonza, as a NY resolution I think you might consider spending as many hours WATCHING boxing as reading about it. WATCH THE FIGHTS.
Dude, never again mention me in the same sentence as Double L! :nono: Secondly i don't say "outlandish" shit....Floyd and Hopkins are just much better than most of y'all choose to realize.
No the hell its not. Tommy is by far the bigger/more athletic man, with FAR more speed and power. One or two Morrison left hooks would be more than enough to knock Dempsey's head clean off.
Ok Pick'em was a bit of an exaggerration...but Dempsey is a live underdog given Morrison's useless chin.
Athleticism isn't the basis of my pick, personally.....it's technique. Dempsey makes Ricardo Mayorga look like Pernel Whitaker.
