    That the rules of a boxer getting back into the ring unassisted if knocked out of ring was enforced, then Firpo would have been crowned as champ over Jack Dempsey which would mean the title would not have been put into storage for 3 years.

    Mr Firpo would have been defending it with gusto as he was in the game solely for the money.
