    It's identified as Dempsey, but I suspect it's Young Stribling. It's clear from other photos that Dempsey would trim down closer to fight time, but the guy in that photo is absolutely shredded. Can anyone confirm it's Jack, and if so from which fight?

    That is Dempsey training at Van Kelton stadium in New York in the summer of 1920.
