Did he tell you that? Were you alive and actually spoke with Dempsey back then? I'm a Lennox fan too, but the way you word your post is bulshit.
Dempsey did refuse to fight blacks when he was champ, and was open about his disdain for them. I'm pretty sure he never fought a single one, it's hardly bullshit to say so. Of course it may have been that nobody would have paid him accordingly either, most people concerned didn't want to see a black guy fight at the top level in those days
