Lyle my man.....they already made one "The Great John L". Seen it on the AMC channel yrs ago. They should make one on Dempsey, not that weak ass made for T.V. movie starring the Prince in the City actor, I forget his name. Show him penniless riding the rails, fighting in mining camps and saloons for food and board, fighting other Hobo's for his life. A real ferocious guy to becoming the toast of the sports world, even when in his Seventies he knocked out 2 would be muggers in N.Y.C. That would be a true rags to riches story.
