    Don't bother. Theres been plenty of hard evidence been posted on this forum by boxing historians that prove dempsey ducked wills. Use the search feature. Otherwise, keep being delusional and making excuses for your hero dempsey

    Dempsey was 20 years old, had been eating in soup kitchens and sleeping on park benches. Not to mention he was getting gypped by his manager. Why on earth would he take a fight against Sam Langford? Dempsey was a virtual unknown. Would you call it ducking if they offered a rookie like Rolando Romero a fight with Lomachenko and he refused?

    Take your ass back to boxing scene bro

    Funny, because Harry Wills wasn't afraid to fight Joe Jeanette or Sam Langford in 1914 in only his 16th and 20th pro fight!

    Guess Dempsey is the only one allowed excuses. And I'd love to hear your excuses for how Dempsey ducked his number 1 contender for a record 7 straight years? and how he constantly defended against Harry Greb leftovers but never greb?

    Yeah and he had a ton of unnecessary losses, draws, and more importantly had no choice because he was black.

    Care to take more history out of context?

    You have provided none of those sources. Not to mention I have photo evidence of Louis standing as tall as Ali and Foreman along with Firpo being incredibly taller than Dempsey.

    Photos beat whatever inaccurate tale of the tape from 100 years ago you look at.


    Now you've changed your position from Bowe being athletic to being very athletic for his size. Next you'll be comparing him with respect to potatoes.

    Holyfield has nothing to say on the subject. Stop deflecting. Do you listen to yourself talk? "Tell that to holyfield, who was blasted with fast explosive punches out of nowhere by Bowe." Jesus, it's like I'm reading a comic book. There are any number of highlight clips of Bowe fighting. He isn't fast and he had slow feet. That's not athleticism. Bowe was a great heavyweight but he just wasn't athletic.

    I mean you can disagree that the sky is blue. Doesn't mean you have a chance in hell of being right.

    Your response doesn't make sense. Try again.

    You are a clown. Picture are very deceiving due to the angles they were taken and if the fighters are on different platforms or if one is not standing up straight. They aren't reliable at all.

    Very Reliable sources state Firpo and Louis were 6'2.5 and 6.1.5".

    Your picture evidence is a joke!! You just love making up information don't you!!!

    Yes, compared to the big men Dempsey fought, Bowe's athleticism looks like Bo Jackson's out there! Indisputable
    Bowe was explosive. He had very fast hands.

    I guess it depends on what you consider athletic. Throwing over 700 punches in his first fight against Holyfield to me would suggest he was pretty damn athletic when he was in peak physical condition.

    I can't believe in my 13 years I've never encountered you before. You are the biggest clown I have met outside of Revolver.

    I am done talking to you. You make up information and don't follow reliable sources.

    Keep dreaming!!!!
