    Im still looking for three photos. One of Dempsey with Fairbanks, one of Dempsey and some guy I dont recognize sparring, and one of Dempsey standing over a knocked out Midget Smith at an exhibition he gave at Van Kelton for wounded soldiers who had come over from Fox Hills to watch him.

    Yes his vaunted left hand looks very ominous in the photo. One famous opponent described Dempsey biceps were larger than his legs were...His 190 pounds were deceiving as his torso from the waist down were less than average , and his upper body was as large as a larger than 200 pounder...This man was a TIGER in the ring. A HARD man...
