    I remember that, it's a good video, you can really see the influence he had on Tyson.

    I always thought he looked quite crude in the Willard fight.

    The way he moves in the sparring session with Big Bill Tate is one of my favorites

    Dempsey played a huge role in moving boxing forward. He changed the way fighters went on offense. It was fast and exciting. Can' really overstate his importance.
