Who had the most mismatches on their resume?

No chance he makes 175. Again he was a shredded 190 pounder.

Wlad without ROIDS and you have a tall lanky heavyweight. Holyfield without ROIDS and you have a 200 pound heavyweight.

Give Dempsey ROIDS and you have a 210 pound very quick fighter with ko power in every punch. A heavyweight Roberto Duran.

he weighed 181, when he was trying to be a heavyweight

your roids talk is nonsense, in the context of this thread

FACT: Dempsey would not be a heavyweight today, nobody can deny that

so... he obviously would not train like a heavyweight, like he did in the past... he would be cutting weight in camp, just like everybody else... size would not be a factor, so he would train for speed/endurance... JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE lol

he also fought using same-day weighin's, which makes a big difference

Dempsey would be slaughtering LHW's today, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that... times have changed, men have not

your roids talk is nonsense, and irrelevant to the topic

Again you are completely wrong. Dempsey matured into a 190 pound fighter. Just like Ali matured into a 215 pound fighter.

Dempsey was shredded at 190 pounds. Naturally shredded. No ROIDS.

Take any of the top heavyweights Since 1990 back to 1919, no ROIDS, and they would be 20 pounds lighter and far less muscular.

Today Dempsey would be a 210 pound monster. A very quick, very powerful fighter who really knew how to fight unlike today’s jokes.

[QueensburyRules]

in some of his fights, especially early, he barely weighed 180

many were 181

if the divisions were structured differently like today, then he would train differently... focusing on speed/endurance rather than filling out at heavyweight to compete against larger opponents

big cruisers today would be much bigger than Dempsey

cruisers today can weigh 215-220 on fight-night... Dempsey weighed 181 at the same-day weigh in

he would be more suited to LHW than cruiser, so would eat/train differently... he is likely a similar size to Kovalev

- -Ali turned pro as a lanky Kovalev sized lightheavy.

Kinda su****ious how he blew up to 220, 35 lbs of Fightweight.

Sorta like torn gloves buying extra rest and recovery time and smelling salts vs Cooper who wore 10 lbs of weights at the weigh in so he could make the the. Hvywt minimum.

[QueensburyRules]

Heavyweight division history is loaded with smaller fighters destroying larger opponents. Speed, skill and punching power ***** size. Today’s boxing fans are tuned into size like they are watching WWE. Few know anything of the skills of the sport.

- -Reason hvys have their own division is because they destroy the vast majority of smaller fighters

Reason why U own U own division of Dum!

but, he would not " mature " into a 190lb cruiser if he was training like every other non-heavyweight on the planet, would he?... he weighed 181lb at "heavyweight" WITHOUT CUTTING WEIGHT... so, stop being ridiculous

a guy who weighs 181 WITHOUT CUTTING WEIGHT, would easily make 175

also, that was same-day weighin's dude... stop and think about that

I don't think you understand making weight

the roids talk is just silly nonsense, in the context of this thread

In today’s world Dempsey would be Roided up like all other top fighters today. A Roided up Dempsey is a 210 pound monster. A fighter who really knew how to fight.

If he was 190 pounds shredded in his prime he would not be able to make the 175 pound limit.

Kovalev, another modern fighter who had no will to win whatsoever, always was soft around the middle. He had the excess baggage that allowed him to strip down to 175. Dempsey in his prime did not.
