Jack Dempsey slow heart beat 44 BPM

Interesting buildup here to the Willard-Dempsey match in Toledo - amongst other interesting tit-bits in it - never knew Dempsey had a slow heart rate - a sure sign of endless stamina (a la Henry Armstrong etc) - something Dempsey isn't generally credited with

He was an extremely fit man in his prime. 44 is slow though, even for a top athlete.

I'm not sure why some people question his stamina. The Gibbons fight shows him fighting at a furious pace and up on his toes chasing his opponent, getting stronger throughout 15 rounds. In the midday sun.

 

What was Armstrong's BPM?

 

Some long distance marathon runners have slow healthy resting pulses of 40-44.
Like putting on less mileage on a car. Less wear and tear. I wonder what Harry Greb's was ?

 

Slow heartbeat Dempsey had at 44 BPM ? So what?
Mal Function ,former welterweight of the 1940s,in 1943, had a resting heart-beat under
20 ... Problem was, he died in 1923...

 

Keep 'em comin', burt. :rofl

 

sure it was something mad like 30something BPM - which is pretty much like one of those tour de france cyclists - which accounted for his insane non stop high pace from the first bell to the last.

 

:roll::yep hehehe mal function.....:tong

 

American Cross Country Skier Billy Koch had a resting pulse rate of 38 BPM. He was an animal, a human freak.

 

3 and one half beats a minute

 

I remember reading of a cyclist having a resting heart rate of 2 beats a minute

 

Maybe you were reading his obituary.

 

Here all week?
