easily wolcott/wolcott =)

NonPareil Jack Dempsey doesnt get alot of propls from me, just because im not too familiar with many fights from guys like Jack Forgaty, George LaBlanche, or billy McCarthy.

I do know however he was KO'd in his late years by Bob Fitsimmons, and Tommy Ryan.

if your an old timer, you gotta have a better record than 48-3-7 (7 no decisions, and 3 no-contests) ill give him that it must have been difficult to go from barenuckle to gloves, but still.

If your interest in Dempsey ever peaks to the point where you'd like to read more of him and his fights, here's a wonderful site (that you may be aware of already) jammed full of priceless historical information on him, or really any other famous fighter from that era that grabs your interest;
