Dempsey was 6"2, big frame, and could easily add 40lb and still move really well. Don't forget that James Toney added 100lb to his weight. Holyfield added 40lb or so, and maintained it because of his naturally strong frame. As would Dempsey.
Here are Jack Dempsey's words on training : "Training has two objectives: (1) to condition your body for fighting, and (2) to improve your workmanship as a fighter. Although some exercises help condition and others speed improvement, there's one all-important activity that assists both. That activity is sparring.
Wilder spams that right hand and needs room to punch, which was Dempsey's bread and butter as he would close the distance with body shots. It's clear that Deontay doesn't have the mental strenght to keep up with a guy like Dempsey and the weight difference is not as big as with the other top HW's. 2. ScarredWill.
The jolt is the first punch you learn in the book.

Dempsey was a hell of a fighter, tough as they come. "Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defence" - what a damn succinct way to sum up what any great boxer should aspire to. His explanation of the "falling step" I consider a crucial element in my own understanding of transferring bodyweight into strikes.
Marciano and it's not even close. Dempsey was a solid 3 inches taller than Marciano. And Dempsey had a SIX inch reach advantage over Marciano as well. In fact, Dempsey was way taller and had a way higher reach tho. And Jack fought with more weight on him than Marciano. Just googled it, you're right about the height.
Jack Dempsey would not have been as strong and as fast as a modern boxer of today who has specialized training and musculature to be as efficient as possible. Extreme diets, weight lifting and isolation exercises and biological studies would make even the average professional boxer significantly more potent—let alone the boxing technique ...
I felt same size would be a mismatch. Obviously someone like Usyk would completely destroy Dempsey if he just came into this world trough a timemachine. Tried to figure out at what point is the weight too big for even 100 years of development in boxing and athletes
The young Tunney actually met Dempsey, who recommended doing some work as a lumberjack to strengthen his hands. Tunney then went on to not only defeat Dempsey for the heavyweight title but retired undefeated.
Dempsey is 6'1, Tate doesn't look 6'7 here. He really does. I remember that day.... Dempsey's one of the only 190lbs heavyweights I can see holding his own against super heavys, mainly due to his power and style. 1.9M subscribers in the Boxing community.
