When I was 9 years old in 1969 my uncle took me to dinner at jack dempseys restaurant after a Yankees game and mr Dempsey was there in a booth eating dinner and he came over to our table and sat down with us for about 10 minutes and he was the nicest guy and he took photos with us and signed the photos
My grandfather had the same experience. The first time in his life he visited New York City he made a point of going to Jack Dempsey's eatery. He asked the waitress if the champ was present. Within a minute Dempsey was sitting with my grandfather and answering questions for 30 minutes. What a great guy!
A couple of punks tried to mug Dempsey as he got out of a Taxi in New York, he beat the crap out of them, he was 76 years old!! Quite easily the hardest man that ever lived!!!
Actually he was in the back of a limo, two punks opened the doors on both sides of him. He knocked them both cold before his driver could get out and help.
@@harrygreb8427 Dempsey wouldn't go near the "Pittsburgh windmill" who time and again bashed up heavyweights , and unlike Dempsey fought coloured fighters . Like tiger flowers who beat the great man twice
The Jack Dempsey that destroyed Willard was a fighting demolition machine. Dempsey went into the fight at age 23, was at his physical and boxing peak. He’d fought for years to get this shot at the title. Fighting across America since his teenage years. Before the Willard fight in July 1919, Dempsey had fought 21 heavyweights in 1918, knocking out 16 of them.
The beating he put on Willard won't ever be matched , savage brutality at its finest !! Willard must of looked like a wild animal attacked him it's literally the only time I've watched a fight and felt a little uncomfortable like it's beyond sport , frightening level of aggression !!
During World War II, my Dad was stationed in New York City for a while, and he would hitchhike to get around. Anyone in uniform would get a ride immediately. Pop thumbed a ride one day and noticed the most fearsome looking hands he'd ever seen on the steering wheel. Jack Dempsey.
My grandfather was 3rd in the world for feather weight. He knew Dempsey well. They both had taverns. My grandfathers was in LA. He used to take Pappy Boyington home at night. I have autographed pictures of him. An animal of a fighter. Rest in peace all you guys that grew up bare knuckled fighting and had your eyelids cut open to release the blood.
Shori 12 it was $1,000,000....he got a check for like $987,000 (or something along that line), so he turned around and wrote a personal check for $13,000 and gave it to the promoter and told him to make him a check for $1 million.
Mike actually studied all the Greats in order to Master from the Masters.He recently broke down in tears on his Hotbox show with regards to his other hero Sugar Ray Leonard who he said was his inspiration to Box . I see now what he got from Jack, throw everything you got and aim to destroy with every punch you throw.👊
not only a fierce fighter but was in movies and fashion icon . he was perfect for the roaring 20s...the haircut Mike tyson sported all through the 80s was his nod to jack dempsey. in a video from Tysons vintage days when he was champ he said I want to be just like dempsey. the way he fights the way he looks...and he then proceeded to say his haircut was his nod to jack...one of the reasons I always liked Mike was he studied the history of the sport and didn't believe it started and ended with Ali/ frazier/foreman
Thank ol Cus in heaven for the knowledge and discipline making Mike watch the old boxing fight reels from the projector. When he was a teenager in trouble, teaching him boxing. Cus was God given to Mike like his build. God works in mysterious ways, if that doesn't prove it what does.
@@Ready4Whatever ..... i’m gonna say no... dude bought his old sparring partner, Bill Tate (black) a farm when the man was down on his luck. Dempsey’s promoter (Tex Rickard) was the ref during the johnson-Jeffries fight and the backlash from that fight basically put a whitewash on boxing. They didn’t want another black champion(after Johnson) Dempsey actually signed a contract to fight Harry Wills and Rickard wouldn’t promote the fight.
@@drinfernodds They were very similar in many aspects, life experiences even physicality, robust skull shape.etc. Both bullied as kids for high voice but then quickly learnt to beat up their bullies. Mike could relate to him very much.
Of all the boxers of the past Jack Dempsey is the one I most often wish I could transplant into modern times. I feel like his style and attitude towards fighting would translate into any era.
What I find so impressive is how he was quite a bit smaller than a number of these men he fought and yet he's using his whole body to hit them. As if ever punch is a power punch. And he's sending these big guys all over the place. That's special
He's the OG. One thing he bought to the game that doesn't get mentioned alot is the leaping left hook. One of the most devastating shots in heavyweight boxing.
I forget which of his title fights it was, but one of his opponents once said "it as the first time i was ever afraid in the ring, I was sure [Jack] wanted to kill me. He was like a panther"
Terry Turner Exaggerating how. Mike Tyson was bigger, hit harder and had better tools. The only thing Dempsey had over Tyson was heart and determination.
@@aidanjalbert7180 you literally claimed he was 10X stronger and you're asking me where you exaggerated? I don't think it's even about physical capacity, Tyson learned to box from a young age while Dempsey learned on the street, yes he had great techniques that that others copied but he had to pioneer those techniques himself over hundreds of fights. Talking about savagery, we know Tyson was a savage but I've never heard a war veteran say he felt that this man was trying to actually kill him.
@ Terry Turner I’m not disputing any of that. I’m simply pointing out that as far as skills go, young Tyson was superior. He indeed did borrow from a young Jack Dempsey, however that doesn’t mean Jacks skills were superior.
I love the way you make the HL of old school boxers. It looks like a documentary to teach boxing than just a normal video or tribute in boxin. The way you put attention to the best punches, or defense and bob and weave. You deserve a golden bottom, and pro reconice Hanza
@Ray Rocco dempsey is way better than shavers. And he is a pressure fighter which is the kind of fighter that gives ali the most trouble. Even if ali got up he still lost and dempsey hits much harder than frazier.
@Ray Rocco never said earnie wasnt a skilled boxer, dempsey is better than him. Do you have any idea how many opponents were heavier than dempsey and he still knock them out. Foreman would beat dempsey because he has the stylistic advantage just like he had it with frazier. I also never said dempsey would beat ali i said he has chance. And you were the one who brought this match out of nowhere.
Gene Tunney tells the story of when he met Dempsey on the Long Island Ferry just after he Tunney had returned from France after WW I. Seeing Dempsey and knowing that it was a once in a life time opportunity he went over and introduced himself to the Champ. As they were talking Tunney mentioned he was also a boxer but had broken a knuckle on his right hand and it had not healed properly and he could not throw it with full power and he was thinking of giving up boxing. Dempsey asked to see his hand and showed Tunney a way to wrap and tape his hand to protect the damaged knuckle. Tunney thanked the Champ for his advice and adopted the hand wrapping technique and six years later took Dempsey's title.
@@Deagledrumzz he did the same with his face too. Kung Fu fighters who train the traditional style use herbal liniments on their hands to toughen them and enable them to break bricks.
@@julius3428 he meant because jack used to stand right on top of his opponents after knocking them down because there was no neutral corner rule at that time when a knockdown happened.
Think about this: It takes a very strong man to be really kind. Dempsey was both - Strong and kind. I know. I met him. It was very obvious from the start that he possessed both of those qualities in abundance. Early hurt can bring about both (anger & rage) and compassion in a person. That was Jack in a nutshell - inside and outside of the ring. Great man. Great American Horatio Alger story. Don't make men like him anymore.

a couple keys about this legend: 1. :47 - :49 takes someone very gifted w/ timing, coordination & handspeed. I stress to anyone to put that sequence in frame by frame slo mo & watch the technique inside that tornado. few boxers to this day couldve pulled off that 4 punch drop step move & finish it w/ a fully leverage, rip your head off left hook. amazing footage from a very gifted & schooled athlete. 2. freeze the frame at :36. dempsey didnt weigh a lot, but he had no body fat & very dense, steel cord muscle. notice too how wide his lats are. scary coiled power. 3. 3:14 was only a 6 inch punch. his body distribution & swivel into that punch is a marvel. such nasty inside power..... matchups are everything in a fight. prime for prime vs all champs, dempsey couldve been beat, but he may have been the most dangerously underrated, esp vs large fighters. a versatile, old school hard but modern technique schooled.
Dempsey built all that muscle the old fashioned way, through hard physical work in the copper mines. Several of the old time fighters built themselves from just good fighters into champions by real work. Zale in the steel mills and Braddock on shipping docks. Fitzsimmons had unbelievable punching power for his size and it came from working as a blacksmith. He had extremely strong hands and wrists, which are the wek link in the punching chain.
I believe it was Mike Tyson who claimed he looked up the most to Jack Dempsey. I believe I heard him say he tried to model his style after Jack Dempsey’s fighting style.
Jack dempsey. Total machine and people talk shote like they know him and the rumours. Man would knock most if not all the haters out. He's.to Jack 2022 boom boom
Dempsey would have been an awesome MMA fighter. He knew how to wrestle and smash opponents in the clinch with scary power. There are training clips of him wrestling and even using trips from the clinch. He would be champion in both sports today. It’s hard to get a handle of how hard he hit. He’s one of the biggest punchers ever, pound for pound. Just look at how his opponents reacted to getting touched anywhere. They were fighting for their lives.
Yup the man would also be a cruiserweight today so he would be hitting guys who could die from his punches. 6’6 240lb Willard nearly died from it too. Man was next level.
@@bewarethelocusts8558Jack Dempsey fought people on the streets for money before boxing. He wasnt a boxing purist by no means. He probably would have done mma if it existed back then
Whoa Jack Dempsey in Living Color. Amazing too see early 20th century footage in color. Thank you for posting. Best fights against Gene Tunney and Jess Willard.
CUZ IM BATMAN no for real back than men had way higher standards and testosterone idk what the fuck happend since the end of the Vietnam war but those hippies sure pussified alot of things
Por supuesto, Jack Dempsey fue uno de los más grandes boxeadores de todos los tiempos; su pegada, una de las más fuertes de la historia y su técnica, maravillosa y demoledora. La "Edad de Oro del Boxeo" fue una era de gloria en este deporte.
My uncle Charlie Rice was Jack Dempsey's sparring partner. He was my mother's 19 years older half brother who was 3/4th Mohawk. Was sort of famous in his own right in the day as well. ( This is not my site)
I will never forget how this man got his incredible, jaw breaking punching power, 300 pull ups(chin ups) a day. He put up a bar and everytime he left the room he's pull up till he couldn't no more on the way back in do it again.
Mr. Dempsey was from Mannaseh Colorado and was know as the Mannaseh mauler. My grandfather C. J. Moynihan organized his first professional fight at Hartmanns garage in Montrose Colorado around 1929 or 1930.
what did your grandfather say about his talents?.... would love to hear any stories. I read the book kid blackie, it was interesting. I also visited manassas colorado & his old house. its a stark area. its no wonder he came up tough.
Dempsey was great no question but can we take a moment to applaud Willard who despite suffering 6/7 knock-downs in round 1 and a multitude of facial injuries made it to round 4 !!!! That in itself is astonishing he must of been a very very tough man hats of to Jess Willard 👍
Few boxers ever hit like Dempsey. Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis & Dempsey were the greatest pure punchers of all-time. I don't mean just power but also speed, accuracy, different angles & combinations.

Dempsey built all that muscle the old fashioned way, through hard physical work in the copper mines. Several of the old time fighters built themselves from just good fighters into champions by real work. Zale in the steel mills and Braddock on shipping docks. Fitzsimmons had unbelievable punching power for his size and it came from working as a blacksmith. He had extremely strong hands and wrists, which are the wek link in the punching chain.
I believe it was Mike Tyson who claimed he looked up the most to Jack Dempsey. I believe I heard him say he tried to model his style after Jack Dempsey’s fighting style.
Jack dempsey. Total machine and people talk shote like they know him and the rumours. Man would knock most if not all the haters out. He's.to Jack 2022 boom boom
JD was one of Mike Tyson's heros. JD and Muhammed Ali were friends up until JD's death in 83'.
The technicolor really brought to life some of those old fight scenes.
Jack Dempsey was my Grandfather’s favorite fighter, he was six years old when Dempsey won the title,Dempsey was one of the toughest guys ever👍🇺🇸💪🏻
I wish you could made one of Firpo, with Dempsey they made the best fight of their era.
Firpo was crazier then Dempsey.
Firpo was the real winner in that fight. But Dempsey couldnt be the loser...
@@carloslajoinie4603 no lo iban a dejar nunca
I miss watching his highlights in high school cafeteria😔
Dempsey would have been an awesome MMA fighter. He knew how to wrestle and smash opponents in the clinch with scary power. There are training clips of him wrestling and even using trips from the clinch. He would be champion in both sports today. It’s hard to get a handle of how hard he hit. He’s one of the biggest punchers ever, pound for pound. Just look at how his opponents reacted to getting touched anywhere. They were fighting for their lives.
Yup the man would also be a cruiserweight today so he would be hitting guys who could die from his punches. 6’6 240lb Willard nearly died from it too. Man was next level.
mma...lol..don't mention Jack Dempsey's name in the same sentence with that filth.
@@bewarethelocusts8558Jack Dempsey fought people on the streets for money before boxing. He wasnt a boxing purist by no means. He probably would have done mma if it existed back then
This guy was not just a boxer this guy was a fighter. Something he got on the streets and not just in the gym.
The man was one of Mike Tyson's heroes if that speaks anything for the type of fighter he was!
Whoa Jack Dempsey in Living Color. Amazing too see early 20th century footage in color. Thank you for posting. Best fights against Gene Tunney and Jess Willard.
Back when men were real
*men were men
Men are still men with some stuff vanishing
CUZ IM BATMAN no for real back than men had way higher standards and testosterone idk what the fuck happend since the end of the Vietnam war but those hippies sure pussified alot of things

@@bobsjepanzerkampfwagen4150 yeah i agree haha. On top of that, we have a lot of male degradation .
You never see too many dislikes on a hanzagod video
When boxing wasnt technical it was brutal and the full body weight delivery was evident.
That leaping left hook and the straight was his scariest combo watch and pay attention to how many of these knockouts/ knockdown are leaping lefts
The fact that Jack Dempsey still looked fit as a heavy weight before everyone took steroids in boxing is amazing.
Excellent point ... he just looked the part, naturally.
Well most guys live a short life training till a injury but Jack was a beast.
brilliant video
3:01 Brutal. Next level.
The best boxing video ever!!!
Dempsey was the best!
Por supuesto, Jack Dempsey fue uno de los más grandes boxeadores de todos los tiempos; su pegada, una de las más fuertes de la historia y su técnica, maravillosa y demoledora. La "Edad de Oro del Boxeo" fue una era de gloria en este deporte.
Si señor gran comentario de esta leyenda del boxeo Demsey
Amazing video
1:05 His famous falling jolt
Master of the drop step or falling step punch
An old school almost forgotten punch, along with the shovel hook (2:45). The real knocking straight punch.
that left hook at :37, total destruction.
My uncle Charlie Rice was Jack Dempsey's sparring partner. He was my mother's 19 years older half brother who was 3/4th Mohawk. Was sort of famous in his own right in the day as well. ( This is not my site)
No he wasn’t
The world is small
Pep Ciccarelli never been or not great ? You’re contradicting yourself. Wasn’t Dempsey half Cherokee ?
that last punch..so much power from so little movement..insane..
Legend
I will never forget how this man got his incredible, jaw breaking punching power, 300 pull ups(chin ups) a day. He put up a bar and everytime he left the room he's pull up till he couldn't no more on the way back in do it again.
Mr. Dempsey was from Mannaseh Colorado and was know as the Mannaseh mauler. My grandfather C. J. Moynihan organized his first professional fight at Hartmanns garage in Montrose Colorado around 1929 or 1930.
what did your grandfather say about his talents?.... would love to hear any stories. I read the book kid blackie, it was interesting. I also visited manassas colorado & his old house. its a stark area. its no wonder he came up tough.
Great video!!!
Wow. Never saw these before. Dempsey's accuracy was amazing. Fury needs to watch this.
one belt,one title,one champion, one jack dempsey!! legend
One of my favorites.
Hanzagod and reznick need to team up and release some chart hits,love the music with these videos
Dempsey was great no question but can we take a moment to applaud Willard who despite suffering 6/7 knock-downs in round 1 and a multitude of facial injuries made it to round 4 !!!! That in itself is astonishing he must of been a very very tough man hats of to Jess Willard 👍
True that Willard was an incredibly tough man.
He was, considering he hadnt fought for three and a half years when he stepped in with Dempsey....he shouldnt have really been in that ring.
Rough dude, great video.
Mike Tyson still today respects this man more than Ali and he is the most raw fighter.
Most definitely helped paved the way for the sport
Few boxers ever hit like Dempsey. Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis & Dempsey were the greatest pure punchers of all-time. I don't mean just power but also speed, accuracy, different angles & combinations.
I agree from recent eras Duran ,Tyson , pacquiao are similar
Roy Jones as well
