    The June issue of the Ring[uk], has a long article by Ron Felber ,on Jack Dempsey and the events leading up to his trial for Draft Dodging.
    Felber goes in to some detail,,he tells of the charges brought against Dempsey, the trumped up evidence ,from his wife and various prostitutes,that proclaimed that Dempsey was a professional ****** and a wife beater. Felber writes some of the transcripts from the trial ,but MOST IMPORTANTLY THE OUTCOME.DEMPSEY WAS CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES.
    Something else came to light during the trial,DEMPSEY HAD TRIED TO ENLIST IN THE NAVY BUT BEEN TURNED DOWN,this was in 1917 -18.
    Dempsey also contributed $330,000 to War Relief Bonds,through charity matches during this time.
    I wonder if we can expect a retraction of Russell's salacious stories calling Dempsey a proffessional ****** without any proof? Or will this go unanswered ?Just as was a request to produce proof for his posts was.
    Along with a request to produce the amateur fights in which Bob Foster beat the **** out of Muhammad Ali ,according to him , which also fell on deaf ears.There is quite a file of unproven statements building up, courtesy of you Russell.Some proof would be nice for your posts.

    McVea, the clown who wrote the article probably wont retract it. Sounds like he's writing from a 3rd party opinion.

    just a shame The ring (UK) would put it to print.

    Deatiled transcripts might have been a better option.

    It's good that The Ring is finally giving Dempsey some decent publicity. It's generally pretty hard on him.

    On the draft dodging, all would have been well for Dempsey as far as modern day libtard writers are concerned had he just said something like "I ain't got no quarrel with them Huns" ...

    The only raping Dempsey ever did was the Willard bout

    The slandering and lowrating of Jack Dempsey continues.

    Well yes, that was the conservative opinion on that matter at the time.
