    He beat eubank (first fight) and got robbed and benn and imo was our best ever super middleweight.
    Ok his resume isn't the best but he beats all of the above imo.

    Born in Manassa, Colorado, with the name of William Harrison Dempsey, he grew up in a poor family of mixed ancestry. According to a January 11, 1955 Sports Illustrated article, his father, Hiram Dempsey, was Irish.
