Great photos Theron on probably the greatest gate attraction of alltime Jack Dempsey.
Was he the greatest heavyweight ? Who knows and who cares, but his persona and viciousness brought boxing to it's most popular era ever...

 

I completely agree Burt he had an aura around him that makes him seem bigger than reality. The distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place, seems like that definition was written for Dempsey.
