"There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah." -mike Tyson
That might bite your ear if you get close enough. You can't take the fight out of a fighter, you can learn control and humility. Tyson is still in there. Just a more polished version. I respect his newer version of " man" because it's tough to do. I was terrified for any man who entered the ring back then. God damnit, he punched with so much power and HATE. I was just a little kid but knew he was the hardest hitter alive.
After reading his autobiography entitled - Dempsey By The Man Himself - he became my idol. (not just my sports idol). His book was, to this day, the best book that I have ever read (Sadly it has long been out of publication). This man is Americana, a Horatio Alger story on steroids. He worked as a miner, a cowboy. He traveled the country by riding the rails underneath moving trains. He ate and lived in hobo jungles along the way (he knew where they all were located). His hustle in the midst of all of this was that when he arrived in a new town in the Old West he would walk into a saloon and ask the bartender or owner who the local bully was that frequented the bar and if he'd be there that night. The gaff was to allow Dempsey to fight the guy for the entertainment of the patrons and to be allowed to then "pass the hat" after the fight with the winner getting all of the proceeds. There were some very tough hombres in those Western saloons back in those days and when they looked at the skinny, squeaky voiced Dempsey they licked their chops at the prospect of making a good days pay by simply beating the hell out of him. Ha Ha ! The joke was on them as Dempsey routinely destroyed them. He thrived on beating big, slow guys like the ones in those bars and later Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship. In 1970 I was in NYC and I wandered into his restaurant on Broadway and as I was having lunch with my date in walked the great Jack Dempsey chomping on a cigar and walking with his cane. He noticed me gawking at him in awe and he approached my table and stuck out his hand and said "Hi Sonny". Fifty two years later nothing in my life has been a bigger thrill. Don't ask me what he said because the moment was too big for me. I chocked I, regrettably, couldn't get any words out of my mouth but I did get to meet my idol.
Good story and memories that never die ..I once met Muhammad Ali by chance and accident in Edinburgh , Scotland at his autobiograhy book signing after he was brought over by train journey from Glasgow after he had done likewise signing his books for all his many fans ..Ali arrived in Edinburgh by train then very short taxi cab and with police motor cycles either side Ali along with his two minder guys walks into Waterstones store in Princes street branch . stepped out pats Ali on his left shoulder as he walks with minders to lift as Ali with minder guys get into lift doors i then see close over ..I looked up stairway with all people lined up i just shouts up loudly ( Excuse me folks , please let the Gentleman past please and as all took a step aside i then quickly ran up all stairs to top and then straight into main room , i cross over floor to other side and stood just touch up from main lift and then secs later door of lift opens and out come Ali with both minder guys and Ali hands shaking i then took 2 pics of Ali and quickly i stepped out patted both back of his hands as he slowly walks to main table to sing all autographs of people buy his book .. Ali with ( Parkinsons badly at time was taking its toll sadly ) though Ali never said anything , had a wee smile on his face being led to table ..I recall taking old ladys pic beside Ali and this after told make it quick as not time with so many people to see ..Were large que all way down Princes street i recall just before i stood at main doorway awaiting his arrival ..Anyhow Great names in the boxing World all them guys and just is sad at times some greats go a few fights too many at a time should have retired Ali was one of them also as well as Dempsey and Jack Johnson Rocky Marciano , Joe Louis and later in time Ali , Frazier , Foreman , Holmes Them were all greats of the ring but for me them earlier fighters were as tough as nails .
Mike Tyson is one of the greats and when he had the look the hunger In his eyes he was unstoppable. And Jack Dempsey what else can I say he is a legend.
Larry Holmes an he was way passed his prime..Holmes was Tyson’s best name on his record,this kid beat up bums an he knocked them out like he was supposed to ..when it was time to show up the kid couldn’t do it ...
The Wedge I think they did get paid just nowhere near as much as the victor, I feel like for the old school men it would’ve been more about walking away with some form of pride, walking out the ring a loser wasn’t that big an issue it was if you had to walk out knowing you were completely smoked/outclassed
Thanks for putting this up. When my dad was 20-22, he was an exhibition fighter for Mr. Dempsey on the southwest circuit. Okla. Tx. NM. Dempsey gave my dad and opportunity to get out of Tulsa and it changed his life. He was always a champ to me.

@James No country or leader delt with the pandemic properly. No matter what countries have done (shut down, not shut down etc;) it turned out wrong. The country that screwed up was the one who's diet consists of bat wings and monkey brains and other disgusting foods.

There is a ufc girl that made a similar comment a couple of years ago it went something alone these lines “ we can fight for many reason but when you fight to get the last piece of the bone is different”
anonymous anonymous So that makes him not a great fighter? We’re talking about boxing here and you’re going off on a tangent about things that are completely unrelated.
anonymous Are you sure we’re talking about the same Mike Tyson here? The one I know of was the youngest heavyweight champion of all time and definitely isn’t dead😂
I had the great pleasure of meeting Jack Dempsey at Yankee Stadium in Sept. 1976. It was the venue for the Muhammed Ali, Ken Norton fight. I was a New York City police officer assigned to the stadium for the day to handle the large crowds due to the fight and a demonstration that was taking place simultaneously. My partner and I spotted Jack after the fight was over, he was walking through a parking lot with two body guards, One on either side of him. We simply walked up to him, had a short conversation and shook hands which felt like rocks. My recollection of him was that even though he was 81 years old he looked large and sturdy. He was very kind and seemed happy we approached him. After so many years, I remember that encounter with The Manassa Mauler vividly as if it just happened yesterday.
Hardly anyone pays attention..or at least didn't back when he was in his prime, Mr. Tyson was very articulate despite his scholastic education...he was VERY respectful to the champions of yesteryear and overall a good man...in spite of all he had to face based solely on his reputation the media engineered against him
Tyson was naturally very intelligent from birth. The education system of the ghetto hell he was born into failed him just as it has failed so many other people.
MrNorthernSol A conviction doesn’t mean you did it. A jury isn’t even filled with people who know the law. It’s based on feelings. A bunch of random people who two lawyers try to emotionally jerk.
@Happ Felagi for him to say that is different, than for outside influences to say it, two completely different perspectives, not to throw away your point, that yes he DID say it..
The similarities are alot they had similar styles The fought giants and prevailed The had high pitched voices They were champs at a young age The beast thing they were ferocious and entertainment in the ring.
Jack would chew on pine tar and wood chips to strengthen his jaw and rub brine on his face to make it less prone to cuts. My grandpa was a big Jack Dempsey fan.
LOL........Absolutely BS. Just because Tyson made a throw-away comment about Dempsey means absolutely nothing. That title should read ' Dempsey the man who fled at the sight of a black opponent'
David Serrano “The best ever” quotes were always a big issue with my opinions on Mayweather. He was fucking good, but best ever is to arrogant and disrespectful of boxing history and other great fighters.
LoL I knew there'd be somebody bringing up that shit. That somebody is you sadly. Woman had a strange history of doing this shit before Mike came along.@AmishRiot
He was. And it hurts my heart. I'm just so glad that Mike was eventually able to start to deal with his deep hurt in a healthy manner eventually. I wish Sonny had eventually gotten the acceptance he wanted, and been able to leave his rough past behind him totally.
@@Lonelysportofboxing Ali said that rocky hits the hardest hes ever felt and that out of everyone rocky would give Ali the most trouble and said that he'd take foreman and Frazier in the same night.
What I love about Tyson is that he's a student of the history. I was the same as a kid, I remember going to the library, signing out books and studying all the greats. My favorites back then were Marciano and Dempsey.
Not eaten for 4 days and still went on to fight...what more can you say about that... He is one of the most,greatest boxer to ever walked on this earth.. May he rest in peace...
"A traveling hobo that made his money brawling men in saloons for money." bruh this level of testosterone is uncanny. That's the most masculine thing I've ever heard.
In the 1980`s I knew an old timer from Chicago and he told me that a lot of the guys who fought Dempsey had problems eating when they got older. Jack damaged them permanently.
It’s ironic that Dempsey lost the title as a result of the infamous long count of Tunney. Just like Tyson lost his title after a long count of Douglas.
@@RainyDayBoxing I've actually watched it likely many times - I play background music / documentaries while gaming (for example). Praising it all the same and for the reasons mentioned; fantastic. Cheers.

A man had to be out stone cold before the ref waived a fight off in those days, and no neutral corner on the knockdown. Those were hard bastards. Rainy Days in my no1 fav boxing channel keep up the good work!
Dempsey from 1919 to 23 would destroy today's top guys. All he needed was one shot. And it would happen because his body work would open that door for him.
@@jewellui Hey man, a neutral corner is one of the corners of the boxing ring that a fighter gets sent to when he knocks an opponent down in modern day boxing; it's done to allow fighters more time to recover as in the old days, deaths and serious injuries occurred when you could just stand over a man and continue smashing him as he tried to get up like you see in this video. It's usually the corner farthest away from the downed opponent and "neutral" because your cornermen can't be in it to give you assistance! Also I think you could throw the towel in in those days but not sure how often it was used tbh.

Dempsey used to write my grandfather and my uncle still has the letters. They were around the same age and after an amateur career followed by football, my granddad was a big-time referee. Dempsey referred to my grandfather as 'Doc' because he was an optometrist, as well.
I cannot believe Willard kept getting up and a fight like that not stopped back then. Dempsey would still be a handful for anyone in his weight class now.
Jack Dempsey was literally a hungry bum who was starved for days and had five minutes left in him before he colased due to hunger, so in a match he went full out, In a world where boxing was so much about safety, rules weren't even needed, because apponents rarely threw a punch... He was the first legendary drop character.

@@acewilliams7917 aye, he looks more modern than the stiffer heavyweights before him or Dempsey himself. Great footwork and still plenty of his own strikes when the opening came
Dempsey was about 41 then. MInd you Tunney was only about 2 years younger, but age does really begin to impact around 40, Also Dempsey has not fought for 3 years before their first fight, I think he would have been far from his best.
I knew a guy 30 years ago who was 80 at the time. He told me that a lot of the guys who fought Dempsey had stomach trouble later in life. Dempsey hit people savagely.
Didn’t realize Dempsey’s fights drew such huge crowds even by today’s standards. Wow. I’ve often wondered who’d win if Jack Dempsey fought Rocky Marciano. What a fight that would be!🥊
dempsey was literally bigger then ruth in the roaring 20's. new school sports journalist in most cases have weak historical knowledge. They just assume by far ruth was the dominant sport figure hero and celebrity of the 20's & have pushed that narrative for some time to people. its pop history. yet the truth was it was dempsey. he made 10 times what ruth made & was the toast of hwood. he was good friends with & partied w/ chaplin & barrymore. he also lived in hwood in its first golden age in the 20's when it exploded as the biggest media city in the world. & ticket sales, ink space & fascination with the sports consumer then was most attracted to dempsey. he essentially created mega gate events, the type of planned & sold events that bands like the stones would make an industry. yet dempsey's fame did that for the first time 50 years earlier. a strong argument could be made he was the biggest sports star as far as moving the needle in his day then anyone in the 20th century. certainly the first half.

Mike Tyson has come full circle now. He's such a kind compassionate man
That might bite your ear if you get close enough. You can't take the fight out of a fighter, you can learn control and humility. Tyson is still in there. Just a more polished version. I respect his newer version of " man" because it's tough to do. I was terrified for any man who entered the ring back then. God damnit, he punched with so much power and HATE. I was just a little kid but knew he was the hardest hitter alive.
No. Mike was always a sensitive person. Dealing with vultures trying to take advantage of you can bring out the worst in anyone.
@PsychoDieter91 no, any butts were accidental.
That time Iron Mike broke his fist over the skull of Mitch (Blood) Green tho. 😳
He looked great in the Jr. fight
After reading his autobiography entitled - Dempsey By The Man Himself - he became my idol. (not just my sports idol). His book was, to this day, the best book that I have ever read (Sadly it has long been out of publication). This man is Americana, a Horatio Alger story on steroids. He worked as a miner, a cowboy. He traveled the country by riding the rails underneath moving trains. He ate and lived in hobo jungles along the way (he knew where they all were located). His hustle in the midst of all of this was that when he arrived in a new town in the Old West he would walk into a saloon and ask the bartender or owner who the local bully was that frequented the bar and if he'd be there that night. The gaff was to allow Dempsey to fight the guy for the entertainment of the patrons and to be allowed to then "pass the hat" after the fight with the winner getting all of the proceeds. There were some very tough hombres in those Western saloons back in those days and when they looked at the skinny, squeaky voiced Dempsey they licked their chops at the prospect of making a good days pay by simply beating the hell out of him.
Ha Ha ! The joke was on them as Dempsey routinely destroyed them. He thrived on beating big, slow guys like the ones in those bars and later Jess Willard for the heavyweight championship. In 1970 I was in NYC and I wandered into his restaurant on Broadway and as I was having lunch with my date in walked the great Jack Dempsey chomping on a cigar and walking with his cane. He noticed me gawking at him in awe and he approached my table and stuck out his hand and said "Hi Sonny". Fifty two years later nothing in my life has been a bigger thrill. Don't ask me what he said because the moment was too big for me. I chocked I, regrettably, couldn't get any words out of my mouth but I did get to meet my idol.
Good story and memories that never die ..I once met Muhammad Ali by chance and accident in Edinburgh , Scotland at his autobiograhy book signing after he was brought over by train journey from Glasgow
after he had done likewise signing his books for all his many fans ..Ali arrived in Edinburgh by train then very short taxi cab and with police motor cycles either side Ali along with his two minder guys walks into Waterstones store in Princes street branch .
stepped out pats Ali on his left shoulder as he walks with minders to lift
as Ali with minder guys get into lift doors i then see close over ..I looked up stairway with all people lined up
i just shouts up loudly ( Excuse me folks , please let the Gentleman past please and as all took a step aside
i then quickly ran up all stairs to top and then straight into main room , i cross over floor to other side and stood just touch up from main lift and then secs later door of lift opens and out come Ali with both minder guys and Ali hands shaking i then took 2 pics of Ali and quickly i stepped out patted both back of his hands as he slowly walks to main table to sing all autographs of people buy his book ..
Ali with ( Parkinsons badly at time was taking its toll sadly ) though Ali never said anything , had a wee smile on his face being led to table ..I recall taking old ladys pic beside Ali and this after told make it quick as not time with so many people to see ..Were large que all way down Princes street i recall just before i stood at main doorway awaiting his arrival ..Anyhow Great names in the boxing World all them guys and just is sad at times some greats go a few fights too many at a time should have retired Ali was one of them also as well as Dempsey and Jack Johnson Rocky Marciano , Joe Louis and later in time Ali , Frazier , Foreman , Holmes Them were all greats of the ring but for me them earlier fighters were as tough as nails .

I wonder if mike Tyson ever met Dempsey????
Deontay Wilder is not on their level
I had the great pleasure of meeting Jack Dempsey at Yankee Stadium in Sept. 1976. It was the venue for the Muhammed Ali, Ken Norton fight. I was a New York City police officer assigned to the stadium for the day to handle the large crowds due to the fight and a demonstration that was taking place simultaneously. My partner and I spotted Jack after the fight was over, he was walking through a parking lot with two body guards, One on either side of him. We simply walked up to him, had a short conversation and shook hands which felt like rocks. My recollection of him was that even though he was 81 years old he looked large and sturdy. He was very kind and seemed happy we approached him. After so many years, I remember that encounter with The Manassa Mauler vividly as if it just happened yesterday.
Hardly anyone pays attention..or at least didn't back when he was in his prime, Mr. Tyson was very articulate despite his scholastic education...he was VERY respectful to the champions of yesteryear and overall a good man...in spite of all he had to face based solely on his reputation the media engineered against him
Tyson was naturally very intelligent from birth. The education system of the ghetto hell he was born into failed him just as it has failed so many other people.
"Met Don King - became a truly odious character" well it follows doesn't it? King is the biggest louse in the history of boxing.

The similarities are alot they had similar styles
The fought giants and prevailed
The had high pitched voices
They were champs at a young age
The beast thing they were ferocious and entertainment in the ring.
you're right
They both loved the taste of cartilage.
The both came from a pretty fucked up upbringing
They also both had high voices. Tons of similarities. It's no wonder iron Mike looked to him for inspiration.
Fuck Shit don’t forget the negative media portrayal
Jack would chew on pine tar and wood chips to strengthen his jaw and rub brine on his face to make it less prone to cuts. My grandpa was a big Jack Dempsey fan.

It's usually the corner farthest away from the downed opponent and "neutral" because your cornermen can't be in it to give you assistance! Also I think you could throw the towel in in those days but not sure how often it was used tbh.

Dempsey was more technical than people use to say about him. Look at his bob and weave and defense. In his time only a genius as Tunney could move better than him
@Lucyfur the D.R is an attack technic, im was talking about defense. But yeah, DR could be use as a offensive and defense movement as equal
Gene tunney is one of the GOAT
Highly underrated champion.
Only loss came to harry greb
Jared Phelps, Greb was a middleweight. Tunney reversed that loss in subsequent fights with Greb.
@@jaredphelps4226Harry Greb a top 5 pound for pound goat
My granda raised me with boxing stories about these guys. It's a pleasure to show him videos like these today. Thank you rainy day boxing!!! 🥊🇮🇪
Both my all time boxing heroes footwork and balance the key
This era of boxing was absolutely savage. Toughness beyond belief.
Tunney looked smooth fighting. In and out, the combos, light on his feet, elusive, scientific...
Tunney was fantastic
@@peteg1114 It kinda looks like Ali Vs Frazier or Robinson and Lamottia, the bull and the matador. Tunney, measuring punches, floating around the ring. Frazier ducking like Demsy keeps coming forward ready to maul at any moment with that left hook.
@@acewilliams7917 aye, he looks more modern than the stiffer heavyweights before him or Dempsey himself. Great footwork and still plenty of his own strikes when the opening came
@@peteg1114 Indeed he does.
Dempsey was about 41 then. MInd you Tunney was only about 2 years younger, but age does really begin to impact around 40, Also Dempsey has not fought for 3 years before their first fight, I think he would have been far from his best.
The Dempsey roll still knocks big mfs out lmao 💯💯 whipping ass like it’s the 1920’s
Nice story like Dempsey and like Tyson. All heads will bow all tounges will confess Tyson is the greatest of all time 👊💪
I knew a guy 30 years ago who was 80 at the time. He told me that a lot of the guys who fought Dempsey had stomach trouble later in life. Dempsey hit people savagely.
12:08 dude is a specimen. Those arms are cannons!
His arms looked average sized.
Didn’t realize Dempsey’s fights drew such huge crowds even by today’s standards. Wow. I’ve often wondered who’d win if Jack Dempsey fought Rocky Marciano. What a fight that would be!🥊
dempsey was literally bigger then ruth in the roaring 20's. new school sports journalist in most cases have weak historical knowledge. They just assume by far ruth was the dominant sport figure hero and celebrity of the 20's & have pushed that narrative for some time to people. its pop history. yet the truth was it was dempsey. he made 10 times what ruth made & was the toast of hwood. he was good friends with & partied w/ chaplin & barrymore. he also lived in hwood in its first golden age in the 20's when it exploded as the biggest media city in the world. & ticket sales, ink space & fascination with the sports consumer then was most attracted to dempsey. he essentially created mega gate events, the type of planned & sold events that bands like the stones would make an industry. yet dempsey's fame did that for the first time 50 years earlier. a strong argument could be made he was the biggest sports star as far as moving the needle in his day then anyone in the 20th century. certainly the first half.
Hell yeah! I was thinking the same thing. What a match up that would have been. Or Jim Jeffries. Oh and Jack Johnson.
I was wondering how do the audience at the back of the crowd are able to see the action properly in the ring
BRIAN TAN Yee maybe they brought some telescopes. Lol. Or they just wanted to be a part of the event even if they couldn’t really see the fight too good. Kind of like watching fights in Ancient Rome.
Dempsey was one of Marciano’s heroes
He died in Greenwood Delaware they tore his house down but left the pool hall and ice cream shop he owned RIP MR.DEMP HONESTLY GREAT TO HAVE MET YOU
Man what an honor it must've been to meet that man !
@@AJKungFuu my smile when he gave me my ice cream then my dad told me who he was there are no words I was amazed he wasn't loud or boastful and had all of his whitz about him too he counted cars on the way to the beach coming through greenwood Delaware every summer till he passed always made me wonder which number he was on when he passed his family was the most wonderful son and daughter but his wife was regal she had a shine all around her and a smile that matched
@@AJKungFuu LUCKY LUCIANO was with him every step of the way.....
A fantastic video! You can clearly see how Tyson wanted to be an action packed fighter at the people loved! Jack Dempsey is a legend and it's so fun to see his ferocity in his fights!
