Eddie Futch's Funeral...

Nonetheless, Eddie was there to save Joe yet again when facing Foreman a second time, from the ignominy of a third knockdown and automatic stoppage. Frazier has indeed saved a certain measure of face, as we instead only have Padilla's word for it that he would have allowed Smoke around 45 more seconds of action before ending it himself.

 

Don't tell me Freddie diden't make it??

 

I have a problem with you, because you repeated this ****,and when challenged on it ,you said,"I wasnt the one who first mentioned it."
Dempsey was cleared of all charges regarding his life with Maxine, as recently as last year The Ring ran an article about it which a couple of posters mentioned on here,you did not respond to them,and now, like the little weasel you are ,you duck out of any responsibility for posting the lies you did.

When you post an allegation, proof is needed to back it up ,you have never provided proof ,you just repeated bull**** you heard.

You are a---- , well let's not go there.
I am getting on in years ,but my son would like to meet you Mr
Muscles, he fights in the cage once a month, and also extra curricular, fancy it? PM me, if you do and we can sort it
.Meet half way one on one.

 

Russel ko mcvey with ring post

 

Christ. mcvey, you just go ko'd in that exchange.

 

As a Dempsey fan, I quite like the dark side stories of his background. Who knows what life was like for the young Dempsey in his desperate hobo days ?

 

Please provide the name of the "noted researcher and historian " who wrote "The Life Of Jack Dempsey".
Roger Kahn wrote" A Flame Of Pure Fire", he is a well respected writer ,on baseball.

The lurid tales you posted on here were discussed in a Ring magazine a year ago and Dempsey was given a complete pardon from them by the authorities, something you did not mention..
You initiated the personal insults, I responded.
My boxing resume is not world class, but enough to prove I never reacted adversely to getting hit,Insulting people from behind a pc is safe enough I suppose, how are you when you are nose to nose?

If you want to meet an old fart and discuss this personally, pm me Narcissus.

 

Tenuous link I know but the book was mentioned above, found this on Roger Kahns Wiki page

'His acclaimed biography of the great heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey, A Flame of Pure Fire, is under development as a major motion picture by 33 Productions of San Francisco'

 

Mcvey, are you sure it was a pardon as that is forgiveness of wrong acts, not a statement that those acts weren't commited. Also a word to the wise, this is getting way out of hand and you should know this as a father.

 

My use of the word pardon is probably wrong ,Dempsey was absolved of any wrong doing, that is a matter of public record,So you are right ,and I chose the wrong word.:good
I overeacted to Russe'ls verbal abuse, I had just come back from an all day Jazz Festival and had drink taken.
I don't use words to people on a forum that I wouldn't use face to face,and win or lose I am prepared to back them up ,physically if needs be.
Posters who put up photos of themselves stripped to the waist ,posing self admiringly do not garner my respect, and merit even less when they throw out abuse from the safety of their home.
END OF.

 

I think Dempsey did worse things than he's accused of in his desperate days.
Hobo jungles and wild west mining town saloons, and brothels in 1910s America were rough amoral environments, surely. I'd like to think so, anyway.

I love Dempsey.
It's all myth and legend, I know.
But I prefer to think he was a rough tough savvy survivor, who didn't give a **** about rules of polite society of which he was then not a part of.
I have no wish to impose our soft modern morals on the peoples of that time and place.
