The Following is about The Nonpareil:

Far out in the wilds of Oregon,
On a lonely mountainside,
Where Columbia’s mighty waters
Roll down to the ocean side;
Where the giant fir and cedar
Are imaged in the wave,
O’ergrown with firs and lichens,
I found Jack Dempsey’s grave.

O Fame, why sleeps thy favored son
In wilds, in woods, in weeds,
And shall he ever thus sleep on,
Interred his valiant deeds.
‘Tis strange New York should thus forget
Its “bravest of the brave”
And in the fields of Oregon,
Unmarked leave Dempsey’s grave.

That poem was written a long time ago, I am guessing way before Boxbuzz was born. :D

As for making the Boxrec Hall of Fame, it might be interesting next time. He hasn't got much support in the past elections, but that could change. A record tying 14 fighters were voted in last time. That means there will be a lot of openings next time for people to vote for fighters that they haven't voted for in the past.

It can only help his cause that Boxbuzz is already campaigning for his candidate already.

The fact that the NonPareil is NOT in shows for the billionth time what a farce these nitwit groups are.

History is wiped out---

By the very halfwits who term themselves "historians."
