Nonpareil Dempsey → Nonpareil Jack Dempsey – WP:COMMONNAME, per 2018 comment by Joefromrandb. See, for example, this book. Ngram results here. Note that the later fighter Jack Dempsey took his stage name from this boxer, so "Jack" was commonly used as part of his name. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 18:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Fulljames fight
editHis with Fulljames for the inaugural American Middleweight title (referenced in the article) is documented on Cyber Boxing Zone with a date. However, this bout is not on boxrec for some reason. My question is, should it be added to Dempsey's Wikipedia fight record? I'm not entirely sure what the policy is regarding 19th century professional bouts that aren't listed on boxrec but are otherwise documented. AnyGuy (talk) 03:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- His fight with*. Forgot a word.
