    Hemingway sparred with Tunney and took a liberty.Tunney drew his lead and threw a right hand that stopped half an inch from his nose ,saying,"never do that again ."Hemingway was pals with Tom Heeney and sparred with him on a beach

    Dempsey is very underrated ! I'd throw him on a prime Cassius clay any day

    Dempsey with his toughness and speed would give Ali a great fight.

    Dempsey dragging the guy unconscious to his corner, nice act of charity after smashing his jaw to pieces.

    Reznick can you acquire the footage of Micheal Moorer beating 7 foot Mike White?

    Id like to show all these size obsessives that fight.

    Only thing I can find after a quick search is the knockdown punch.

    OK now show the "Chicken Dance" dance that Haye landed on Valuev. Truly a classic!

    Dempsey even when sparring took a no prisoner's approach. Like fellow
    giant slayer Marciano even after retirement he was still a very dangerous
    man and not to be messed with.
