They meet at the LEAST the party Fraizer went to after his victory over Ali.

Saw Fraizer on the footage shake hands with the old Mauler.

Not sure what they said or didnt say.

I going to post a snap shot of it.

Dempsey is leaning in the hand shake.

Fraizer is relly about the same hight as Marciano. I do a snap shot of the Walz, of Dempsey and Marciano lol. If I can find a close up and not the whole ring. :-(

Want a circle around them?

I've seen a picture with Dempsey in the ring with Frazier on Jacks 75th birthday, the whole of MSG sang happy birthday to him, this was just before one of Fraziers bouts.

Scores of sports celebrities showed up to pay tribute to Madison Square Garden's success over the years.

Anyoe have any news articles from when Depmsey ko'd muggers? It was around time pics posted were taken.

As to origional question, I think Dempsey never said anything too controversial about anyone, most old timers were like that.

Great photo. This tells me about Frazier's height. Tunney at the far right of the picture was 6'1". Older people tend to shrink an inch or so in their senior days. Fraizer is on the far left, and he's about 3" shorter than Tunney, which means Frazier listed height of 5'11 1/2" is likely exaggerated by 2-3""

The angle of the photo gives a disproportionate look . However, Frazier is about a shade under 5' 11" ...

Dempsey did keep better care of his body in retirement than Louis though.

If you did not know the age gap between Louis and Dempsey, you would think they were only a few years off lol.

I think it was the drugs and the booze that age Louis.
