I could have sat down with Jack, and listened to him tell stories for days on end. Just an amazing, superhuman, man. RIP Sir!

It takes a real man to smile about his rough times and deep dark past when it's brought up. Yet this was done without warning and in front of 10's of millions of people on live TV. Jack Dempsey scratched and clawed to survive when He was broke. This is why He never feared anyone or anything. IMO He ranks in the top three in my book as a boxer and even higher as a person. RIP Mr. Dempsey--You will always be the Champion among Champions .

A true mans man! A product of his time. Savage.. brutal.. and a gentleman! The one and only!

As a Mormon myself, I am absolutely amazed at how respectful the host and all viewers were, during this time. Today’s world would never offer the same respect to any religious person, no matter what religion. This goes to show you how the media today has changed for the worse.

His modesty comes through. And the affection he shows for those he fought. So genuine. Refreshing in these times of phoney celebrity. Dempsey was the real thing.

Looks uncomfortable here but rises to the occasion and not punchy one bit.... fantastic upload thankyou ❤.......humble as they come !!

1956 telecast. Great to see this and several of his foes as seniors. Carpentier still a suave devil.

So impressed with all the boxers here, good natured, and funny too. Absolute Gents and of course Jack himself, what a man ❤

Amazing this got captured on TV for us to see in 2020 and beyond. Goes to show you how all our time will surely pass. Everyone in this video is no longer alive. Faces of the past. Don’t waste you’re life people. Jack Dempsey was a man that had a dream and surely didn’t waste his. EDIT: RIP Jack Dempsey and everyone in this video.

Pure class...an animal in the ring and a total gentlemen out of the ring...Always the Champ.

I think it shows how much Class Jack Dempsey has just by how his former opponents respect and treat him.

I’d never seen this before. I ❤ it! Thanks 🙏 for sharing, this is the my trip to the Dempsey museum. In Manassa, Colorado.

Refreshing, no punching out opponents at the weigh-in, no bragadocious screaming to promote your upcoming fights and no scandalous personal life riddled with shady characters and no excessive gold chains brandished in public to let everyone know how rich you have become.

Wow these are real men. Love it.

Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Baer...they were all just the best...real gentlemen and tough as they come...idols for many generations...Dempsey was picked on for his soft voice...Tyson, found his hero in Dempsey

I once owned this in my vast collection of VHS tapes but my parents threw them out soon as I moved out, been missing it for years, thanks for the upload.

That was great to see. A special moment in history.. To think when he was 76 , he was jumped by 2 muggers who tried to rob him and he knocked both of them out.

cant say ive ever enjoyed watching something more........the great jack dempsey

Here is Jack at 61 y.o. and he still looks like a tough gentleman.

Boxing's Best!

What a great man Jack was brill

It’s amazing God’s grace and mercy where they can laugh and hug one another grid each other with respect respect the sport or someone that they box years ago

Wow. This was incredible. I was always in such fear of the man but to see him as a Granpa and hear of his goodness......thank you for showing this.

He was a great story teller and in such an unassuming way. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for posting. I am glad that this film was preserved for everyone to enjoy.

Jack was and is one of Gods great champions.

What a man

Am crying watching this History Beautiful. Man

Am glad you found this video. Good luck in your search for Mickey Walker.

Hands like shovels! Amazing man and an amazing life well lived.

My late uncle Vinnie loveddddddd Jack Dempsey. I do too. Great champ.

This is incredible. Seeing so many legends from boxing history in one ring and the respect and admiration they all have for each other. Brilliant

Dempsey is a living legend. Along with Ruth and Grange, the 20's were golden. I believe Tunney would have been counted out in the rematch, if not for Jack's mistake.

Jack was kind to his opponents even in the rings.After winning the combat ,he even used to support his defeated competent .No other did this.And outside ,it was hard to believe that he fought against these people.

if he fought in modern times he'd be an absolute rock star

Someone said as much of a savage he was in the ring, outside the ring he was the complete opposite.

Thankyou so much for posting this "Gem" True Gentlemen all !

Great fighters

The great Jack Dempsey, good to see him get his due attention here (dempsey , who Tyson said was his role model as a fighting style). I've recently read alot about Gene Tunney. Tunney and Dempsey actually did have a good relationship in later years as men (both worked in NYC and connected over the later years and were friends). Tunney didn't show here, which was a shame, would have been perfect - but this absence was really a by product of his dis-trust of the writers and media. When Tunney de-throned Depsey for the Hvy Wt Championship, the news papers and sports writers hated it, they loved Dempsey, Jack was the whole package as a classic fighter, with a fighter's tough guy persona they loved to write about. Tunney however was reserved, bookish and enjoyed being around Writers and Academia, and the Writers all gave him alot of criticism and a hard time all through his career over that, Tunney never forgot, and resented it - and avoided writers and the public, and become publicly reclusive after retirement, focusing on his business career, and stayed well away from the public eye. Tunney was a good man, a solid dedicated family guy, an interesting guy, and a smart defensive analytical boxer who beat dempsey by studying and analyzing his style on files (which tunney really pioneered as a strategy), it's too bad really none of the sports writers in his day could perceive that, and didn't appreciate him for what he was.

He favored his mom a lot!

I wish we could find more of his older fights

Nothing but respect from all

People love exciting boxers it's no good being the best in the world on paper and on record if the crowd are not entertained fully jack was a master entertainer

Glad you know. He was one of the most down to earth and unassuming stars I have ever met.

Beautiful footage thank you so much R.I.P Jack 🍀

That's my Dad's uncle Max that escorted Dempsey. They were good friends and Max helped manage his business affairs.

Brilliant to see this. One of my favourites and Greatest boxers of all time

Georges Carpentier looks like quite a character as well!

This is A-MAZING!!! thank you for posting!

I wish TCM would show Treat Williams movie titled Dempsey! I remember seeing Jack standing outside his restaurant in NYC. I wish I would have shook his hand! Why I didn't cross street had to do with little money for I was 15!

Great to see Jack and some of his opponents, Willard would have been a good guest.....brutal boxing but outside the ropes a gentleman.... and that's the way it should be.

God bless you for posting this! An American hero legend immortal...

This was great! Thank you. 🥊🥊

Great stuff , big thanks for this beautiful upload.

good people in that era .. things have changed things got weird

Good ,.strong, Godly man.

Legend

Been looking for this show for a long time.Thank you for sharing.It was a truely great show.

Great footage thanks for sharing this

Great upload, thanks!

thank you for sharing

Excellence !

Se fossi stato un medio avrei detto monzon e se fossi stato del peso massimo avrei detto Dempsey, questi erano i miei preferiti. Che bello vedere e ascoltare il martello di manassa.

Toughness wish I had met him. Read Dempsy on Dempsy!

I always wanted to see this after reading about it in his biography. Now if the one with boxer Mickey Walker can be found !

What an impressive man. What a self-effacing gentleman.

The great sportswriter ,Roger Khan captured the spirit of Dempsey in his classic biography of the champion of the "roaring twenties",aptly titled,"The Flame of Pure Fire,For reasons which are well known and need not be mentioned here,The champ was much more beloved during his post boxing career,than he ever was as "the manassa Mauler".My dad and his friends found it hard to reconcile the genial restauranteur ,with the terrifying prizefighter he had been.Life is about contradictions,right?

too bad Max Baer, who Jack managed, couldn't be there.

Jack was 62 years old at this time

tremendo boxeador, mitad indígena mitad irlandés. una maquina de acorralar y golpear sin pausa.

*January 16, 1957*

i wish that host would let theboxers fuckin talk

I don't think that movie was made in the 1950s. There was one in 1983.

What year was this?

When was this???!!

1956 ugh

NO MENSION OF JESS WILLARD...

Hi Dinah. Curious to know your interest in Jack's life. I have much to say but just wondering why a woman such as yourself is curious about a pugilist that won the heavyweight crown 101 years ago on July 44, 1919 in Toledo OH. Temp was 105 degrees and because Battling Nelson was supposed to have taken a bath in the lemonade to cool off ice water was selling at the event for the incredible price of 1 dollar a glass (Twenty dollars in today's money). Are you a writer a historian or an uber fan ? .

Yo Dinah hook me up with one of those online degrees from Devry I need further my education

guy looks out of shape here I don't think he should fight.
