Hey Keith, glad I fired you up sir! Wills never fot the chance to fight Dempsey and very well may have won. The fight was canceled due to riots from what I understand. Langford was a legendary fighter that would fight anyone. Wills did beat him more than Langford beat Wills during their fights. I believe Dempsey to be one of the most fierce fighters in heavyweight history. If you got into a slugging match with "The Manassa Mauler" you were probably going to lose. I believe that Langford would have held his own against Dempsey and gave him a good fight for about 7 rounds until Dempsey caught him with a blazing right hand in the 8th round. Dempsey by 8th round knockout. Good question sir! I almost forgot about Dempsey vs Wills. Had they fought I believe that Dempsey's aggressiveness would have been the difference in the fight and he would have overwhelmed the bigger man. I just don't believe that Wills had as much power as Jack. I believe that Wills was a good boxer but nowhere as clever as say Tunney and easier to hit with clean shots. I believe that Dempsey would have knocked him out in 10 rounds of an exciting fight. Good questions sir!

Jack Dempsey would be victorious in both fights. Jack was a strong small heavyweight. He is Tyson-esque. He had the same size and he also had power. I'm not saying that Dempsey is at par with Tyson's power, though. Dempsey would dispose of Wills inside 7. Dempsey would fight langford to the finish and take a decision win.

Blue, you obtain to be the king of troublesome even tournament ups, it is in trouble-free terms yet another in a lengthy line of serious fights you've printed. I were given to furnish Douglas C a thumbs up, the age aspect would were a huge earnings to Dempsey. again the bigotry of the day would have performed hostile to Langford and in want of Dempsey, and Sam would have had to KO Jack to get a victory. Dempsey nonetheless status on the top of it grow to be a call victory for Jack, regardless of how properly Langford would have boxed. If it grow to be a youthful, in his correct Langford, the size earnings would nonetheless lean in route of Dempsy, Sam all began as a gentle-weight and fought each and each and every of how as a lot as heavyweight. As tremendous as Sam Langford grow to be, i imagine Dempsey would have taken Sam, for dissimilar causes, that others above have already suggested. by and large length and age negative aspects, no longer ability aspect supply Dempsey the aspect. Jack through KO previous due.
