    Nice to see Jack Dempsey finally get some respect. Most of these UA-cam lists seem to indicate that there was no Boxing before the 1940's, and the 40's only make their lists because of Joe Louis. Dempsey was a total animal. A downright scary force in the ring. Could knock out an opponent with either hand. The ultimate fast starter. 26 1st round knockouts. Nuff said.

      There were misconceptions about the Dempsey-Willard fight. Dempsey did not cave in Willard's face/shatter his jaw during that fight. No teeth were knocked out either. Those notions originated from a man who was in the ring after the fight ended, and was interviewed by a newspaper reporter. The man claimed, or at least gave the impression that he was a physician; when in fact, he was not. Willard said numerous times that, while he certainly got the piss beat out of him, and his face was red and bloody, his jaw was unbroken and all teeth were intact after the fight.

      @@3ncore706 Tony was almost KOed in the 1st with a hard jab from Mercer, and Tony was like 200 pounds. Earnie never had a person basically running away from him because his shots were that hard, so Earnie didn't hit close to as hard as multiple guys from the 80s, let alone the 90s. Now, see how you shouldn't just believe in quotes? Watch the matches. Look at the reactions. Look at the punches that landed. Mercer landed 4 clean jabs in the 1st round and then 1 cross that dropped Tony real fast; that was the best punch, and that only took to exactly the time. In the first two minutes and 18 seconds, you won't find any match ever to drop anybody that fast from his cross, and like I said, you won't find anybody that small who basically had to run away just to survive his shots. Jerry, another basically lhw vs. a hw mercer, had to resort to not trading because his weight was too small. He hit Jerry too hard in the first at exactly 1 minute and 23 seconds. Jerry gets caught and is hurt. No match ever foreman or ernie has ever hit anybody that hard or easy in the first with those few shots made in the first. Should I name the multiple guys who not only tanked foreman/Earnie shots? It will all be flawed. When I just gave you faces, Jerry and Tony basically had to stay away and run because they were too small,being even grazed and in danger,taking fewer shots to fall,but foreman and earn hit so-called harder? how when no match shows people they fought gave that same effect, and in the first at that

      There's a big reason why Shavers was third. Although his punching power was unquestionable, he got knocked out a lot. A LOT. Man had 14 losses on his record and 2/3rds of those were knockout losses. Can't put him above Iron Mike and Big George.

Look at how Floyd Patterson wilted just standing three feet away from him before both their fights began. George Foreman had a similar effect on opponents in his first boxing career, and that's why he's my No. 2 all-time great. Boxing is more than KO percentage; it's also about the fear factor.

    Fantastic video, would Wilder make the list if you did the video today?

      Glad you enjoyed it! Yes Wilder would definitely be included if I were to remake the video. He would probably be given a high position on the list too.
