    Sorry Morlocks. At least we agree he'd tear Andy Ruiz's head off.

    Just goes to show the double standard between old school fighters and modern ones. Foreman dropped Frazier 6 times and despite not putting him down for the count, his punching power is revered by the boxing world for it.

    Similarly, Dempsey dropped Willard 7 times, but his power is overrated because he didn't put him down for the count.

    Trolls only get fed once a day at this menagerie. Come back tomorrow, same time, same place, for another helping of humble pie.

    Anyone who takes the time to read the reports of and interviews with Willard in the days after the fight would know that he was fine except for a cut lip and swollen cheek, all of which was barely noticeable a few days later....

    Again, the interlocutors present need to determine whether the object of these discussions are popular fairy tales or historical fact.

    I have quoted ad nauseum accounts and interviews in the week following the bout. Willard was fine. He drove his own car half way across the country mere days later.

    And he had claimed severe and unverified injuries in a previous bout.

    Was he tough? Seems to have gotten a bit tougher with the Johnson bout, and certainly in latter bouts. I will not take that away from him. But his injuries in Toledo are greatly exaggerated.

    Happy Kwanzaa!

    Your Dempsey app is still working but I believe there will be an upgrade early 2020.

    I recommend you read A Flame of Pure Fire. The most unbiased accurate account of Jack Dempsey. Kahn didn't even like The Manassa Mauler.
