If there is more than 1, then let me know.
The only one I know for sure was Jack Sharkey, heavyweight champion from '32-33.
Sharkey fought Dempsey in 1927, it was after Dempsey lost the title to Tunney, and before their "long count" rematch. It seems that this was an "eliminator" match with a title shot going to the winner. It was the first million-dollar gate for a non-title fight. Dempsey won with a 7th round knockout.
In 1936 Sharkey was matched up with Joe Louis. It was Louis's first fight after his loss to Max Schmeling. Sharkey had been retired after losing his title in 1933. He was still a draw, offered a nice payday and took it. He was knocked out in the 4th.

Jack Sharkey, and James Braddock. They both have fought Dempsey and Louis.

Braddock and Galento never did fight Dempsey. I think you're right, Sharkey was the only one that faced both Louis and Dempsey.

Ray Leonard definately boxer/puncher. He'd pass toe to toe with you, yet he became into additionally clever sufficient to field against adult adult males like Duran and Hagler. The boxer/puncher is the final. usually a boxer turns right into a boxer because of the fact he lacks super power, purely as a power puncher turns right into a brawler because of the fact he's usual with he can no longer out field adult adult males, that's a reason and result element that is going deeper the labels, it has to do with genetics, attributes, and demeanor. Take Joe Frazier as an occasion, do you think of he could have been as super as he became into in the event that they knowledgeable him to be a classic boxer as a replace if a slugger? Ofcourse no longer, they knew he had a cutting-edge in his left hand and knowledgeable him to kill those with it. Neither form is ultimate, each physique form of gets unique presents and it somewhat is as much as them to domesticate it.
