He was a bad dude alright.
Kidnapping/raping girls and forcing them into prostitution, pimping out his own wife, dodging the draft... he was a real character, that Jack.

* Billy Miske
* Fireman Jim Flynn
* Bill Brennan
* Arthur Pelkey
* Fred Fulton
* Battling Dan Levinsky
* Porky Dan Flynn > 2x
* Bob Devere

That is one 'tremendous' list of tough bastards.

Jack Dempsey knocked out Gene Tunney for a 21-count.
Good enough for ME.
I like Dempsey.
Clearly not the best, but I guess he was the first "celebrity" heavyweight champ. He was a bad boy and lived the life. His fights were pretty entertaining too. I always think of him in a similar way to Tyson.
