"on the canvas Sharkey can still be seen clutching his *****" There is a second angle now, and I think moves his hands down his body but also...
okay on comments on Fulton and Sharkey, "there's a good body of work there" I agree. "Tommy Gibbons, despite his poundage, could more than...
On the footage from the other angle, it appears he isn't holding his nuts. Check it out. I would be interested in other opinions.
I personally put both Fulton and Firpo in the top ten of the heavyweights of the Dempsey era. The only two Dempsey opponents that amounted to...

I agree with Bummy Davis. If Dempsey could foul with the referee not seeing it, that is part of the game. For me, he deserves full credit,...
Okay. And you are rating him behind such as Ten Hoff and DeJohn who don't have anything like this kind of resume?
We have no common ground here. I never said Hein Ten Hoff couldn't punch. Big heavyweights can and do knock men out. But Wilson Kohlbrecher?...
