Major success? Dempsey, and Dempsey only. Limited success against the right opponents at the right time: - Tunney - Langford - Schmeling -...
I have lived in Indonesia for three years, where poverty is probably around the same as in Latin America, and it is as you described it: lots of...
Mankind in general was tougher I'd say. Much more brutal living conditions, especially among the poor... I'm sure there are still plenty of tough...
