    I've never rated Lewis at 3, so get your facts straight. As far as everything else....you have yet to rebutt any of it with facts and instead are trying to infuse your opinion. What a joke! :lol:

    I think it might be a tough fight but the more I watch Dempsey the more I think people like you might be right. May be the purest fighter I have ever seen.

    By the way that is an amazing picture of Dempsey. Do you know at what time that was taken? One of the most fierce smiles I have ever seen in that picture.

    Jab, it is clear what your agenda is. You have tried to blacklist me in this thread from your very first post telling me to watch my step, then going on to say that I am doing things that I am not in an attempt to get others to buy your propaganda, and then you keep making claims that I am ducking facts and ignoring proof, none of which you have shown, and you have tried to lay on the "guilt by association" in referring to my "buddy quarry" and what happened to him on here. All you have is your opinion and speculation along with some old boxing wives tales that are about as accurate as Bert Sugar's story of what took place prior to Tyson/Spinks.

    Now you are trying to paint me as a troll in big bold text because I have refused to feed somebody who I believe is trolling by throwing out his opinion of things that are totally different from mine. I was attempting to leave it be with that guy because we're not going to see eye to eye so I'm not going to waste the time.

    Perhaps it is your loose definition of "troll" that has caused a total standstill of the history section that you moderate at ***********.com and it is a forum that was as alive as this forum at one time, but since you became a moderator it is about as alive as Oscar De La Hoya's singing career.

    What you have done over there is classified everybody who differs in opinion from you a person who is close minded, and a troll, and now you are trying to do the same thing here. To me it seems that you are doing the trolling. I have defended Jack Dempsey with posters here who have brought a different perspective to the table, unlike you who spews the same things over and over again about Wills and Greb when this has been debated to death.

    It's from one of my Jack Dempsey video's. I captured the still image from the video. I agree, an awesome shot showcasing his phenomenal physique. Not many men were built like Dempsey in his time. I can only imagine what he would look like today.

    Incredible skillset. What a machine Jack Dempsey was.

    You responded by calling another poster opinion "rubbish" after he made points and than suggested you shouldn't call others posts "rubbish" when you have so many holes in your own. Im sorry, but by any standard that is trolling just like your post above is.

    The truth seems to be that you have no idea what you're talking about and you refuse to answer about certain aspects of Dempsey's career. I've shown proof here as well as the other forum of Dempsey's reluctance and avoidance of both Greb and Wills. I'll be happy to re-post those links if need be. You on the other hand have responded with conjecture, non facts, and a twisting of the we are talking about to make it sound like I am questioning Dempsey's whole career.

    Now please explain to me why he didn't fight Greb so I have a better understanding. I can supply more links and tell you exactly where these quotes are from if need be.

    Jab, I don't use the word rubbish. You called rubbish, and I was quoting you in calling rubbish. Again, he called rubbish, so I called rubbish on what he said. It can go both ways. I don't understand how you can say I am trolling by responding to somebody saying what I said is rubbish, with telling them what they're saying is rubbish.

    And please post your facts, I have not seen them. A repost can't hurt anything.

    Jab that was in response to him calling "rubbish" on me my friend. How are you not getting this? Or are you just "trolling?"

    Good job finding that picture, I would like to have a poster of that picture framed and on my wall, it is excellent. The picture showcases his physique very well like you say, also his facial exspresion is showing a dimension of his personality that I don't see in other pictures of him.

    Your video is not working for some reason. I have watched many of his video's on you tube and I have become a big fan of his. I remember a ring doctor saying the injuries to Willard were the worst he had seen in his 40 years of being a ring doctor. Broke Willards face in 20 pieces in the short time of 3 min, He was a fighing machine if there ever was one.

    Willard actually went 3 rounds but refused to answer for the 4th.

    Among a broken jaw and some missing teeth, he also broke his eye socket (I think) and took away the hearing in his right ear.
