Jack Dempsey

Fight fans remember Jack Dempsey as the most savage and relentless fighter in boxing history.Dempsey won the heavyweight title in 1919 and held the title for seven years.

Best known for his freakish punching power which resulted in 25 first round knockouts he was also extremely fast of hand and foot and used a bob and weave style in which he made his opponent miss whilst simultaneously counter punching to the body and head.
Dempsey revolutionized boxing with his modern style and became the greatest draw in boxing history by attracting tens of thousands of fans to watch his fights. Boxing became big business.

What made Dempsey’s punching power so special was the small distance in which he could generate such force. He could throw a punch that would travel less then six inches in distance that would break bones. These tight hooks were devastating at close range and when a boxer is trying to hold. No fighter ever matched Dempsey toe to toe.
