Jack Dempsey AKA the Manassa Mauler

Jack Dempsey

Speaking of Jack Dempsey, was there ever a heavyweight champion that looked more the part than Jack Dempsey? That's a fighter's mug!


"Whenever I hear the name, Jack Dempsey, I think of an America that was one big roaring camp of miners, drifters, bunkhouse hands, con men, hard cases, men who lived by their fists and their shooting irons and by the cards they drew. America at high noon.
-- Jim Murray
