Hey Colonel Reb-your doing a great job on these college football line-ups. But you haven't posted any for a time-is everything alright?

Many who actually saw Dempsey fight say he was not only the Greatest Heavyweight of All-Time but the greatest pound for pound!! Look at these remarks! Sam Langford, when asked how Harry Wills (whom he fought 18 times in his career) would do against Jack Dempsey, said in the June 5, 1922...

Dempsey was on the USS Arthur Middleton[attack transport] during the battle for Okinawa. Very interesting that Dempsey tryed to join the Army during WW1 but was refused-don't know why-do any of you know the reason? Also found out among others Humphrey Bogart,Arnold Palmer and Otto Graham were...

I'll do some looking into that photo-I seem to remember the C.O. wanted Dempsey to have the photo taken but Dempsey refused because both the Japanese soldiers looked to old. Dempsey ran a very successful restaurant in New York. I think Jack Dempsey was one of the greatest fighters who ever lived!!!

Jack Dempsey was given the rank of Lieutenant in the Coast Guard which is equal to Captian in the Army. He was director of the physical fitness program,his orders were "make 'em tough".Dempsey wrote a book at this time called 'How to fight tough". Very hard to find,but you can still purchase the...

I remember they wanted to take a photo of Dempsey holding up two Japanese soldiers in each arm. Sports Historian do you know anything about that? Did they take the picture?

Corbett worked in a bank before becoming Champion-by the way what is a nagree?Your spelling is rotten.

Most by not all as I have just posted 4 who went to war and given time could mention many more.

Jim Corbett worked in a bank so what?

Norton had a glass jaw-Conney Ko'd him in 1 round.Leon Spinks was a Marine-he was also a bum!

Yes either box or jail-Frazier is doing okay-Holmes is doing okay.Tyson is broke and in debt instead of boxing maybe they should consider learning a trade. Mercer has to keep on fighting-Bowe has to keep on boxing.After 35 the guys should consider there future and health.Stay in school and in...

Ted Williams was a superstar baseball player and flew fighters in WW2 and Korea. Tom Harmon was a top college football player and also flew a fighter. Barney Ross was a boxing champ would won many medals in WW2. Nile Kinnick was a top college football player who died as a pilot.

You know as well as I know they couldn't make it a week in the military without getting into trouble.Tyson showed his true color's against Holyfield and McBride.

Yes you were wrong about Rocky-but then you should be used to being wrong. No everybody not in the military is not a slacker.

Dempsey was an old man in WW2 and Louis was in his prime. Tunney was in WW2 also-so was Braddock,Baer and Marciano-I'am still waiting for the Negro results!!

Fistfarter is okay-he's so easy to win against I fill sorry for him.

Hey Stupid Marciano was in the Army in WW2-now tell us all about the Negro in combat!

Max saw combat-Louis never did-Tunney and Dempsey were better men then Louis and had better lives and could beat him in the ring. Your opinion means very little since your a bigot against White fighters,I mean lets face the facts the only reason you spend all day on this site is to stir trouble...

Hey Stupid Tunney and Dempsey were there if there Commanding Officers did not put them in combat AT LEAST THEY WERE THERE.Now Stupid you never did tell us about the Negros'combat record!Bottom line Max war hero-Louis slacker!!!

So Tyson,Clay,Bowe,Foreman Etc, were all slackers. Now we know why the cold war never got hot-can you imagine these clowns trying to take Moscow! The first time it snowed they would run for home!!!

Clay was a draft dodger who quit like a sissy against Holmes. Cooper was 186lbs when he put Clay down-now tell me what a 250lb Vitali[Air Force Officer] would do to this weakling!!

No Buckwheat you don't understand-Max saw combat-Louis never did-you punked out and brought up Tunney and Dempsey[both vets}.Now stupid I'am asking you for some negro that did any thing and you can't answer.Your not a hypocritical fool[your not that smart].

Have you found any Negro's combat record yet! Ask Rahman if he wants Maskeav again-Keep looking for Tyson's Purple heart and Bowe's Silver star.
