    Not as great as it looks. Miske was a sick man at the time and went out in three. Langford was way past it and lost to Tate. Don't know anything about Wiggins but Greb won a 6 rounder.

    Didn't people use to earn like $10 a week back then? Seems a bit steep then.

    Miske fought for another 3 years after the Dempsey fight, he had 23 fights winning 22 of them with wins over the likes of contenders Renault,Roper, Brennan , Gibbons,Weinert, Fulton, his solitary loss was to Gibbons.
    You dont think a chance to see Dempsey, Langford, Greb, Miske is anything special?

    I think you have a permanent negative knee-jerk reaction to any thing that has a positive edge to it.

    YOUR HALF EMPTY GLASS.

    Yeah, I know Miske went on to fight with some great victories but Dempsey and others said he was very sick for this fight. It's something of a mystery to me. I need to get that new Miske book and find out what Moyle knows about the situation. I think its the nature of Brights Disease that is flares up, which could explain it.

    And I would love this piece of memorabilia. It has three of my favorite fighters on it.

    My Glass is always full until I pass out.

    Ahhhhhh the good old days of the 90s, HBO ruined boxing by creating PPV 'stars' and hyping the lower weight classes too much
