    Hi everyone, I have seen a link to a video clip of Joe Louis talking about how he would fight Jack Dempsey and even sparring with him, on a 1950s US TV show, but the link is now dead! Does anyone have this, sounds really interesting?

    I’ve search for this also the past few years. It seems to have been pulled from the internet.

    I remember seeing this too and then being unable to find it.

    They kind of demonstrate to the audience how they would’ve fought each other. I think Dempsey chose the hook while Louis went with the straight right. It wasn’t all that elaborate but it was a great piece of footage.
