    Another Pollack golden nugget rereading Dempsey 1, in prep for the Fulton fight Dempsey brought in Jim Johnson, still only thirty and pulverized him. Johnson who fought all the great black heavyweights of his time praised Dempsey. … even more interesting is that Fulton used Harry Wills. Never knew that
