fight meant. Dempsey has to come
to his opponent to be effective and that
Is just what JEFF liked. He slaugh-
tered every who did it. Another
man who 1 think could easily have
beaten Dempsey was Joe Choyinski.
He fought like Jeffries and he was there
when in his prime. In my opinion
there is only one Of the old-timers
whom Dempsey could have beaten,
that is Jim Corbett. l think he would
have knocked out Corbett as easily as
Jeffries would have beaten him. I
am lot Understanding Dempsey. I
won $500 the day he whipped VII
lard, and 1 seconded Jack the day he
stopped Carl Morris. In my opinion
Willard was not a coward, but he
lacked a fighting heart, which every
fighter must have if he ever hopes to
win laurels in the prize ring. All that
Willard was interested in was the
cash, and Tex Richard set a record
when he hung up 100000 for the big
Westerner in his championship con-
test with Dempsey. The trouble with
boxers today is that they don't work
hard enough when they reach the top.
When they gain the championship they
became actors and let their strength
ebb away at some soft dob. Dempsey
is a champion today, but he would
have received little mention when l
vas fighting"
