I think part of it had to do with his crack addiction that promoter Don King was well aware of because he got him out of rehab no more than a week prior -

Agree that Jack D. was a racist.Originally posted by jack_the_rippuhJack Dempsey....racist..
Does that make him the most disgraceful Champ ever? Or, was it that he was a Champ who actually spoke his mind, no matter how simple that mind might have been, that makes him a disgrace to the sport.
Racism is ugly, but it's not the property of Dempsey. If fact, I don't think he even invented it.
Your right, you can't have grace and racism in the same body, so I agree with you Rippuh. But, most disgraceful ever? That "race" response won't work in every situation.Comment

Can't fault McCall. He was having a mental or nervous breakdown, something which we are all capable of, given the right(or wrong) circumstances. He wasn't afraid of Lewis, Lewis couldn't hurt him with a bat.
Seldon is a disgrace. Even if he knew he couldn't win, he got paid a lot of money. Take a shot you puss.
Ruiz is lousy. What he does in the ring is not boxing or prizefighting by any stretch of the imagination. Where's Tua when he is really needed?
Really, there are too many to list. Golota's effort against Ruiz was pathetic, as was Sanders against Vitali. Among others. Don't these turds realize they are fighting for the or a portion of THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD. THE most important and greatest title in the world. McCline runs out of gas against a light hitter within 12 rounds? Glad he didn't fight in the era of 15 rounders.Comment

He was so terrified of the man in front of him (Juan Manuel Marquez) that he mistook his title defense as a trackfest. His shoes were "smoking" running around the ring.
Sent you some good karma for this one
Wouldn't mind getting some in return

OLIVER MCCALL BACK IN JAIL
It didn't turn out to be a very good week for former heavyweight champion Oliver McCall. Two days after losing a unanimous decision to DaVaryll "Touch of Sleep" Williamson in NYC's famed Madison Square Garden, McCall was arrested late Monday night for "criminal mischief", according to an anonymous tip received by **********.
McCall allegedly flipped out and trashed a hotel room at Hotel Pennsylvania, with blood stains left behind, though it has yet to be confirmed if the blood is in fact McCall's.
If charges are true, it wouldn't be the first time that McCall was involved in a hotel incident: In 1996, he was arrested for being intoxicated and throwing a Christmas tree at a downtown Nashville hotel where he was staying. Charges were later dismissed in that case, and he went on to the all-too infamous "in-the-ring breakdown" in his rematch against Lennox Lewis in February 1997.
Calls to the NYPD, Hotel Pennsylvania to confirm charges have yet to be returned as of press time, and manager Jimmy Adams declined to comment for the moment.Comment
