Dempsey was ferocious, that kind of intensity had never been seen before. Look at what has happened around the middle weight, super middles over the years ... punching power is not all about weight... Some great footage lads, thanks for sharing....I'm sorted for a night or 2..lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think size can help add absolute punch power to a fighter but you're either born with knockout power or you're not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly a couple of pounds under 15 stone Cooper was even lighter in reality, for the second bout he had lead in his boots for the weigh-in.
