Paul Gallico wrote of Jack Dempsey, "He was utterly without mercy or pity, asked no quarter, gave none. He would do anything he could get away with, fair or foul, to win. This was definitely a part of the man, but it was also a result of his early life and schooling in the hobo jungles, bar rooms, and mining camps of the West."
Dempsey's vicious fighting style earned him the title of champion, but it took a loss for him to earn the public's love.
