I dont give Willard any credit .. He was the 'opponent' that gave Dempsey the impetus that gave him lift-off to be the most popular fighter of all...
Please people, lets not mention the Klits or Lewis in the same sentence as Larry Holmes .. It quite sincerely makes me physically sick to think of...
