    Miske had beaten Brennan, Meehan and Cowler prior to fighting Dempsey. His losses were to top guys.

    The guys Miske lost to such as Dempsey, Greb and Gibbons were among the best in the world at that time. Miske was a better fighter relative to his contemporaries than Michael Grant by a good margin.

    Godfrey was not rated very high during the years Dempsey was actively defending the title.
