    I'm going to make an honest admission here.

    For a long time i never gave Jack Dempsey enough credit but by christ we could do with him in this current Heavyweight crisis.

    What i would give to see a modern day Mauler tear through this current division.

    Give Jack the modern nutrition, bump him up to 210 lbs, which he could carry
    quite easily and watch the bodies drop.

    Love him or hate him a prime Dempsey in todays game would be the biggest draw in boxing bar none.

    Does he get to duck his best competition and the folks of color this time around?

    Could he also wear the straw hats with white loafers, so fashionable in the day?

    Come on guys, i'm not saying he beats the very best, whatever colour their skin may be but he sure as hell would give it a go and add some fireworks.

    A Prime Dempsey would do damage today at a ripped & Jacked 215-225....and he would fight anyone as long as Tex Richard or Don King was not his promoter

    One thing you can't take away from Dempsey, he definitely put bums on seats!

    Why would he be 35 to 45 pounds more and be better because of it? He even admitted that he was 180 for Willard.
