| I think because his manager thought there was a fair chance he would loose against Wills. Things were different back then, but today his manager would have made a mint out of the fight. |

| The same reason why ... ( 2 months ago by dorsi68) |
| The same reason why Jack Johnson did not defend against balck fighters , it was the sign of times although how wrong it was. The only black fighter who merited a title fight at that time was Harry Wills. Common fighters and Sam Langford said Dempsey would win easily prior to 1924. |
| It was his managers ... ( 2 months ago by bonhamfan82) |
| It was his managers and promoters that did not want him to fight Wills. Not Dempsey himself. After Jack Johnson beat Jim Jefferies there were race riots and lynchings in the south. Even non racist managers would not have matched him with a black boxer for fear of the social backlash that might have taken place.Why don't you try thinking just a little before you post completely unvailidated and derogatory remarks about one of the greatest figures in sport's history. |
| He was not afraid ... ( 2 months ago by fuckdapuss) |
He was not afraid of fighting black Boxers!
It was only a commplex..he didnt want to hurt black people..
dont forget that he is half Native half Irish.. |
| Array ( 1 month ago by Andarovin) |
No.
25% Native
50% Irish
25% Scottish
25% ?? (some say jewish)
He was mostly a celt, which explains plenty. |
| i dont think jewish ... ( 1 month ago by fuckdapuss) |
| i dont think jewish because people say the same that elvis presley is of schottich,french,german,native,jewish origin..but how it come that all popular people have something to do with jews? |
| It was the times. ... ( 1 month ago by jkoff76) |
| It was the times. It was just racism and place-ism. I don't think Dempsey gave a shit who he fought. But his manager and the promoters wouldn't allow it. |
