    It's in his book. Larry said Dempsey sparred smaller fighters first for speed and finished off his sessions with a round with Larry. Dempsey was trying for a knock out but Larry was always ready for him and did quite well. Larry conceded whilst Jack was passed his best, even then, he felt together with the "awesome" George Godfrey that Dempsey was the most terrifying he shared a ring with.
