Cool. Sure it was wholly a ruse? He was an awesome carouser & womanizer. He could've beaten Dundee off his peak. Serious all-around stud. When the subject of a Dempsey-Greb fight came up Kearns was quoted as saying "we want no traffic with that sonovabitch!" Shame that none of his fight films survived.

Glad to see you here Eddie. I was somehow unaware of this sub-forum. I've come across your posts scattered across the web & really enjoyed what I read. Do you maintain a site for all this goodness?

This was actually posted by user Lord Asia a few years back. Enjoy.

Thanks. I already had the PDF though. I converted it for my Kindle & was amazed. I read Dempsey's last biography & somehow wasn't expecting that level of technical knowledge from him, given his background & style.

Kind words, Sir, Thank You.

No, I only post on this site and only what I'm thinking at that moment. It's all just in my Head.

For my shortcomings, I only recently learned that I had a User CP site. Ha! I really should learn to improve my IT skills.

Greb. Hmmm. Gave Tunney a lesson and allegedly gave Dempsey all the trouble he could handle in Sparring, hence your Hearns quote. Well done you.

Cheers
