Have you seen the Sharkey fight? Do you actually believe an "old Dempsey" (forget that Wills was 36 or 37 years old when he lost to sharkey as...
I think thats sad. Its people who accept this mentality that drag the sport down. And it is a SPORT first and business second. Guys like you who...
Yes but this all ignores the fact that in 1920 Fulton was placed against Wills as an eliminator to Dempsey and was destroyed, two years later it...
What an absurd joke. So, in your mind Dempsey could have been seriously hurt by Greb and Wills and as such he was smart to avoid them? Wow. Any...

Burt comments like this are utter horse**** as, illustrated in a post by me above. There was no "cancelled" fight because the contract that was...
Again, this is false. Three months after he fought Tate he faced Kid Norfolk in a fight promoted as establishing a top contender for Dempsey....
Absolutely untrue. When Dempsey won the title he took the train back to the west coast. On the way he was interviewed several times at whistle...
The same Bill Tate who lost 4 and drew 1 out of 6 against Wills, managing to win only one on a DQ? I guess the same or worse could be said in...
I dont see how anyone can say dempsey had some early success in the first fight. He was clueless against Tunney in both. Even then radio...
I hadn't realized willard made it in the hof. That's nuts imo. Frankly willard and miske both are pretty weak entries. If you want to laud...
