Born William Harrison Dempsey in Manassa, Colorado in 1895, he grew up in Colorado and West Virginia. [A] [5] The son of Mary Celia ( née Smoot) and Hiram Dempsey, he was of part Irish ancestry and also claimed to be partially Cherokee. [6] [7] [8] I've heard that Archie Moore used to walk on his hands to develop his arms, but don't know if that is true. I do know that he used to train using a sledgehammer to develop power and he had Earnie Shavers do that, and also made Shavers cut down trees. Earnie Shavers also grew up cutting down a lot of trees and throwing bales of hay around. He recounted an incident where he was assaulted while walking home at night, telling the press in 1971 that the two young muggers attempted to grab his arms, but he broke free and laid them both out cold on the sidewalk. The story of the encounter appeared in the Hendersonville Times-News, and reported the incident had taken place "a few years [earlier]". [58] For three months, I ate hardly anything. You’d be amazed to know how little a big man really needs to eat and how much stronger a man becomes if he doesn’t eat too much. It’s no joke that people dig their graves with their teeth. Carpentier wobbled Dempsey with a hard right in the second round. A reporter at ringside, however, counted 25 punches from Dempsey in a single 31-second exchange soon after he was supposedly injured by the right. [35] Carpentier also broke his thumb in that round, which crippled his chances. Dempsey ended up winning the match in the fourth round.

[31] The New York Times ' account of the fight described severe swelling visible on one side of Willard's face, but did not mention any broken bones. [32] A still photograph of Willard following the fight appears to show discoloration and swelling on his face. [27] Big Jeff’s thoughts on training and technique were interesting and insightful and he could never learn enough. For Jeff, it was hunger, in its most literal sense, that was the great spur. When preparing for a fight, he attached great importance to eating and drinking only the required amounts. “A man can dissipate more and hurt himself more by eating than by drinking,” he insisted.

This, in turn, cultivated an absolute will in many cases. So, it seems that an earlier time in our history produced men of greater will and has the advantage here.
