Well this and the Foster thread prove one thing. Jack Dempsey is the most under rated fighter on this forum today and not by a small margin. His most vociferous critics are starting to make some of the Rocky Marciano haters seem like reasonable people. To hear then talk, it is hard to see how Dempsey ever won a fight.
Thoult shalt tan under a Toledo sky.. The crux of thy demon shadowing thy infidels effort to regain divine feet... Thus, to again fall as Saintly ref doth allow stricken angel to be tagged from behind..
He beat Jess 'the saviour' willards ass with divine dante'ain dynamite destructive duking double drubbing delight! We should start the calender from toledo 1919 not that other fellas death. Dempseyanity.......
Janitor. Jim Jeffries, John L., Dempsey.. No one is under rated. When truth be accounted for and a fair balance is justified, all fighters have limits. Yes, we love the legend; the inglorious smashing of a fallen champ.. FFS.. Janitor, Dempsey may have talked about a 'left jab'... but, in what context?? I do not see Dempsey out jabbing the miniature Carpentier. In fact, I see him trying to walk trough Carpentiers jab.. being bombed with the full weight of a French LH/W's right hand and semi-concussed.. If Dempsey had such a great jab, it didn't show against Brennan... or Tunney.. or Sharkey..
T'is quoted.. "Janitor Demp. 1" Thy righteous God doth haveth no equal. Thy masses have followed divive text. "Contemporary. Toledo Sun. 1919" Purity of power striketh from not above.. Nay- alas power striketh beside striken warrior.. whom straddles ropeth to regain order of impairment.. Besiege fumbling feet of Goliath.. as David use not sling shot- Nay, David doth use dirty right hand when Goliath not looking.. Rickard best part the red Nevada.. unto vast fortunes doth await the deciples Kearnes and Miske.. For he who is blind may see again and make honest fight..
Ali, Foreman and Frazier never fought the Soviet fighters who have pretty much dominated the Heavyweight division since coming online.
yeah...what would a fool like you know? You probably believe that Randy Turpin would KO Dempsey inside of 2.
See Dempsey-Firpo for this one. at people saying shavers would destroy him etc.... Almost any fighter who came to meet Jack got slaughtered. Shavers isn't special enough of a slugger to eke out a win.
'I will strick down upon thee with great vengance and fury.' Lord dempsey at the weigh-in to judas shavers. ( we are not worthy!)
