    .....Ever mention the so called fact he had about dempsey that he said would knock him lower on some peoples top 10 ATG lists:think

    I tried looking but cant find the old thread,was he just ****ing about?,and if not what was this world beating fact he reckons he had hiding away? and that seeminly Jack tried to hide from the public

    For me it will not matter any way,im a HUGE JD fan,even if i do wish he had took on some of the top black fighters of the time,and made more defences,to me the way he ripped through to the title was simply awesome and maybe bar tyson doing the same in the 80s cant be beat,pity theres not any footage(or is there?) of his crushing wins over fred fulton in 18 seconds,seen pics of him standing over him i beleive

    No footage is known to exist of the Dempsey-Fulton bout. It was filmed but as it only lasted 18 seconds it was deemed too short too be able to market and so the film was probably scrapped.

    I would like more than anything in the world to see that fight. And his first fight with Brennan and second with Smith.

    Perhaps he was simply jerking everyone around to see the response.

    I actually think he did, but I don't know. I know I know, but I knew even before the whole thing ever started, I just didn't know that at the time.

    The Fulton fight was a spectacular performance, but it is well read.

    It was a three-punch fight; a right to the chest, a left hook to the jaw and then a right swing to the jaw.

    On the bottom you can see them shaking hands, and then an over confident Fulton, who was said to have been smiling, give way to a rushing Dempsey near the ropes.

    Trapped on the ropes, Dempsey landed a left hook which shook Fulton to his boots and then a right swing put him down in a tangled mess near the ropes. He vainly attempted to rise, but to no avail.

    Dempsey's fights against Homer Smith, Bill Brennan I, Gunboat and Carl Morris, a man he admitted to hating, as well as the Miske bouts would be essential viewing.

    The Jack Demposey of this fight was 23 years old and at the high water mark of his career, as is the Joe Louis ko of Max Baer in 1935...They were at their lightest weights and combined lean bodies and destructive power
    in their punches...I believe "bigger is not always better "...

    At least Pachilles, frankenfrank etc. can be funny. This Norton geezer's just an irritating tosspot.
