Is jack Dempsey considered an Irish Boxing influence?

 

Not really. If you go by surname, many of the heavyweight champs could easily be said to have some Irish in them.

Corbett, Sullivan, Dempsey, Foreman, Liston Tyson etc etc are all common Irish surnames.

Oh and I forgot to mention Ali....these days that is too.....

 

i would say so so... the surname is irish:good

 

is there TV coverage?:good

Thats good news Joe. Is this going to be a regular event???

 

Are you really? How do you know that?


It's funny how you never hear people say "I'm English American", or "Welsh American" - despite the fact that Welsh names make up half the Top 10 of common surnames in America. They are far more common than Irish names.

Many Americans don't actually know where their ancestors were from and so just assume they were Irish. (Plus the fact they've never heard of Wales, and couldn't point to Scotland on a map either).

 

Most white people in the US are of irish descent that is a fact

Last I checked it was 70% of US whites are irish descent approximately
