I hate your accent cos it's the same as mine.... Seriously 😂 tho.. first book I read which I'd bought (I mean I thought books were reminders of school but then saw I should read my own interests and Dempsey helped me realise that reading could be cool asf) was a bio of Jack when I was 15 (1995) and what a book and what an amazing life!
A prime Jack Johnson would have cleaned the ring with Dempsey. Dempsey, like most heavy weights of the time, had no defense and was just winging punches. Tunney proved that later. Johnson was clever, skilled, and smart. He would beat most heavy weights today.
great podcasts you guys do,you cover alot of information that isnt widely known about these oldschool fighters.
