I'll take big Jeff by tko in 7 or 8. He wasn't the slow, plodding brawler people say he was(I own every fight film in existence of Jeff). In fact John L Sullivan called him "The fastest big man I have ever seen". I'm not saying he was Ali, but he wasn't Foreman either!
Jeff could also hit with murderous power. He was much larger and stronger than Dempsey and took a better shot. He fought powerpunchers like Tom Sharkey, Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Choynski and never tasted the canvas. What powerpunchers did Dempsey fight? Firpo? An immobile statue(yet still put Jack down and almost out). Brennan? Good, not great, power. Jeff's chin is proven against heavy hitters. Dempsey's isn't.
Dempsey would fight like a wildcat, but coming straight at Jeff would play right into the big man's hands. He would have no problem caroming huge shots off Jack's head and body. Could Dempsey take it? I don't think he could.

I AGREE WITH U, DOUGIE BOO. JEFFRIES IN A 13 RD TKO. DEMPSEY WOULD TAKE A TERRIBLE/TERRIFIC BEATING BUT HE WOULD REFUSE GO DOWN/QUIT.

this would have been an epic slug fest of the main brutal order. the two Jeffries and Dempsey have been dynamic punchers, the two have been aggressive, nevertheless Jeff would have been a not slower, he nevertheless had a chin of iron and woudl take a punch properly. Dempsey would win this, yet by utilising close determination on the enjoying cards in a bloody, brutal combat.
