    I'm pretty sure that is the first time I've heard Jack Dempsey speak! I expected a more gruff voice, and as such has fallen several places in my all time rankings!

    Good stuff I've seen Dempsey talk a few times including a video of him and Louis discussing a fight for tv, but don't think I ever saw that interview.

    Joe Louis thought Ali didn't hit Sonny Liston hard for a knock down.
    Neither did Rocky Marciano or Ali for that matter.
    I agree

    Great clips.

    Dempsey must've been about 70 then but was in great shape especially for an old pug. I'm not surprised he lived nigh on another 20 years.

    He also shows no signs of being punch drunks. Sharp and aware!

    I love hearing the old timers talking, Rocky Marciano aka Fred Flintstone is a favourite.
    He was such a gent.
    A few months ago I watched Ali and Louis on YouTube joshing.....superb!!!

    Classic. Joe was very witty. You can tell Ali felt glib when he asked that question :lol:

    Ali used to hound the past greats, but did it in a tongue and cheek manner. Whereas many boxers today just openly trash the past greats in a heartless manner.
