      No the one I have is Chicago Tribune. Later in life Dempsey said something like I knew I could have beaten him.

        Real facts? That's not what you use


        You lie about so much shlt no one knows what to believe. Just like you claimed you had a full Harry Wills fight.....but promised someone not to release it. Yea, ok. I believe that

            I got a problem with Kid M'Coy stopping Tommy Gibbons in eight. I got a problem with anyone stopping Gibbons other than Tunney (in Gibbons last fight).

              McCoy was a sharp hitter, but it doesn't seem very likely. I doubt Walcott would beat Britton either.

              Then again I don't think Dempsey would beat Johnson or Jeffries either.
