I always wondered if. Say Dempsey never meant Kearns. Its doubtful that either him or Kearns would have made it to the top without each other.
If there was no Dempsey how the heavyweight picture would have panned out during that time period. Rickard never wanted Dempsey vs Willard.
He figured Dempsey wasn't big enough. He wanted Fulton vs Willard. He only went with Dempsey because he was in Rickards mind the only logical contender.
Because Rickard wasn't going to promote any of the Black Contenders vs Willard.. Then again without Dempsey we might not have this forum because it only because Dempsey boxing gained widespread popularity
How Would it have panned out?
