    Hope this wasn't satirical.

    Yes i was aware you were, i was merely correcting my lack of punctuation.

    I shall use the excuse Ali used after he took the education test to enable him to be drafted into the US military, he scored well below the level required to be drafted “I said I was the greatest not the smartest,”
    That is my excuse and i am sticking to it.

    Not at all pal. Levinsky is a character worth knowing about. Great to see him in action here.

    The Dempsey vs. Levinsky Exhibition, was Dempsey's attempt to make a come back. Levinsky convinced Jack to forget about it. It was on Barney Ross vs. Billy Gladstone under card. Jack made a fortune in exhibition bouts, received $28,000 and King got $10,000. If I recall correctly Davey Day Ko'ed Billy Locks on the same card. Day is also in the film, seen between Dempsey's wife (background) and Dempsey's wearing a white hat. Great film, really enjoyed.
