Great article. I know Dempsey would be the call for most, but I've wondered who was more iconic given their times.

Awesome read.

I think the decade of dominance is a bit of an exaggeration as he didn't do much after 89 whereas peter jackson did.

Still 7 years and a couple of months is very impressive. Would have been much better had he dfeeated Jackson in 89 also.

Without film it's easy to get carried away with the writeups.

Good find

I really need to pick up Adam's book on Sullivan, but I find myself more interested in Jeffries. A fight between those two prime for prime would have been brutal

I like Jeffries myself, but it would have been a mighty contest indeed.
