Boxing Record
Dempsey is considered by many as one of the greatest heavyweights and "pound for pound" fighters who ever fought in the ring - the ultimate yardstick by which all heavyweights are measured.
Jack was a two-handed fighter who could box or punch. He moved well and was quick, rough, and powerful. He hit with combinations and possessed an extremely hard left hook. In addition, he was game and cool under pressure and fought whatever style was needed to win. Deep inside, he carried a vicious "killer-instinct".
He often fought men 10-25 pounds heavier. In summary, he was a excellent boxer-puncher and an outstanding power hitter. Dempsey was elected to the International Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990
