I honestly had never heard Jack speak as a younger man. Nothing special just a pickle for you knowing ones. This content is protected
Geez this thing would have been stopped today lol. I love Dempsey. His love for the sport never waned. He was sparring the likes of Baer Schmeling ect for yrs after his retirement and visiting fighters training camps for decades. I still haven't been able to find a pic with Jack and Liston if one even exists. You can find him with every other Champ up to Foreman.
Oh 100%. I loved the story about him getting fed up and smacking Two Ton Toney around. I’ve never thought about that till now I’ll have to look around myself aha.
He pummeled that poor fellow. I appreciate how there was an expectation of graciousness back then, too.
In later life people asked baer who hit him hardest and he always said dempsey from the sparring sessions.
