    GhostonDempsey always spreads a fine thread. Better than some (ahem!) who complain of his success and cannot spread much of a thread themselves. He outspreads the competition easily. Why, just look at all those responses.

      Since Battling Jim died in1918 I doubt he sparred with Dempsey.I too think Dempsey beats Wills but we must bear in mind that Wills is an old fighter in those films and Box Rec 's DOB for him is wrong.Johnson did not hit Jeffries when he was down in fact Jeffries got the rub of the green because he should have been dsq'd when his seconds entered the ring to help him. The average weight of Johnson's challengers was the highest until Joe Louis became champ.Certainly Johnson would have to be more active if he fought today,that isnt to say he could not be so though is it? McVey was generally 205/207lbs was that small?
      Johnson fought a verified 24 men of 6feet or over.

        I get to live rent free in the head of a said poster who has been triggered beyond all hope. Starting endless Johnson or Dempsey threads in a feeble effort to lure me in. Johnson got all the glory for being the first black HW champion. He got the shot at Burns, who Langford would have easily defeated himself. Johnson drew the color line as champion, despite taking on a lesser black opponent who managed to fight him to a draw. I asked about his best wins, I got crickets.

          The whole forum knows this creep Travesty is a lowlife unable to write a coherent sentence. Keep mocking all his threads with one just like it. You get all the business and he sits there with his finger up his ăss and his mind in South America.

            Are you saying he's a super spreader?

                Surely if that is the case he should be wearing at least 3 masks at all times!

                    Bill Maher just did a joke on his show for one of his New Rules that said we should wear 5 masks, kind of like the 5 blade razors some men use to shave
