    Dempsey was 100% pure badass...he catches so much latter-day revisionist bull**** in this forum.

    I just ignore it after a while. Why, in 1951, would a panel of distinguished boxing writers pick him as not only the greatest heavyweight, but the greatest fighter of the first half of the century?

    I'm glad we know better now.:-((

    Probably is Big Bill Tate, one of dempsey's sparring partner,s along with Chief turner, Marty Burke, Big George Godfrey etc. These guys earned their money !!!

    i don't rate dempsey as a top ten heavy.i don't rate old timers at all really versus more modern fighters.

    This guy looks like a major badass in 99.9% of the pictures with him in his prime.

    Having spent a lot of time at sea i've always liked this shot.

    I'm pretty sure Jack Dempsey is referee.

    Kind of a poignant one this - the begining of the end for the great Joe Louis - first knockdown versus Marciano
