Dempsey vs Willard - best footage i've ever seen

[Mars_ax]

Dempsey learned to fight in barrooms/saloons, he honed his skills when he turned pro, but he was always more of a brawler then a boxer. This was never more clear than in his 2 championship fights against Gene Tunney who pretty much boxed circles around Jack.

Tunney had tremendous fitness from the first to the last bell he appeared to not tire. I also think style wise he was made to beat Dempsey. I read Tunney was adamant he would beat Dempsey when others thought he was mad.
