Dempsey never had trouble with the "big" sluggers save Firpo. Dempsey's problem was with the dancers like Tunney. Smokin Joe seemed to prefer the "dancers" like Ali, as if he enjoyed "hunting" them. Frazier did not fare well with the big sluggers, Bonavena/Foreman for example. Dempsey could "bring em down" with either hand. Smokin Joe Frazier is considered to have possessed a murdurous left hook, regarded second only to Charles "Sonny" Liston's hook. Dempsey's two handed assaults mimmicks Tyson's savagery/ferocity. Tho smokin Joe possessed no substantial punch other than his thunderous left hook, he possessed a near perfect defence that frustrated many top heavy weights. In a fifteen round bout who would win, Dempsey or Frazier?
