    Fulton wasn't a worthless piece of trash. He was a top contender, 6'4 210lb, and had just knocked out the great Sam Langford. It was a big win for Dempsey, and he knocked him out in an astounding 18 seconds!

    Anyway...........

    I found out that some obscure fighter dropped Dempsey repeatedly early in his career that wasnt generaly known about.

    Wasn´t it the first round KO he suffered? By Meehan, wasn´t it?

    circumstances.[Dempseys 1st wife at the divorce hearings testified it was a dive}.One year later Dempsey kod Flynn in one rd...

    Oh yeah - he doesn't rank at all does he suzie - JEEBUS!

    International Boxing Research Org top 10 all time heavies
    # Joe Louis
    # Muhammad Ali
    # Jack Johnson
    # Jack Dempsey
    # Rocky Marciano
    # Larry Holmes
    # James J. Jeffries
    # George Foreman
    # Sonny Liston
    # Joe Frazier

    Wait a few years till the revisionists get a hold of ALI :)

    What do Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, Leon Spinks, Trevor Burbick and Larry Holmes all have in common? WTF? How can anyone lose more than 1 fight and be an ATG? Don't ALL the modern greats finish with NO LOSSES today. Managers have learned to maximize wins in a way the older boxers never imagined. Some of them old timers MIGHT have gone undefeated also if they knew what we have since learned. How can anyone lose to Neon Leon and even be any GD good? The greatest? No Way! Overrated by the old farts who saw him when they were growing up - romanticized - he isn't even in the Dreadnought class today! Not big enough or heavy handed enough to compete today = oh yeah he was good for his time but a boring "defense first" kind of guy. He would have benefited from modern discoveries in MMA.

    just wait - ITZ COMMING - lol

    Ali compare to today's supersize heavyweights is pretty small.

    I agree with burt bienstock and others here : Dempsey is in the top echelon of heavyweight greats.
    Dempsey is in the same class as Louis.
