In View of the fact that Dempsey must be As old As i am and because i feel i m probably in better condition than he i d be quite willing to take him on again said Carpentier. Thirty two years ago the elegant Frenchman climbed into the ring with Dempsey. Four rounds later the battered Carpentier was Back in his dressing room honorable beaten. Half a lifetime later his memory still is fresh among sports fans around the world for that game fight. Especially so when in the second round he tossed a right that came close to Kayying Dempsey. Carpentier is hailed As one of the All time greats of the sport ing world because he became welterweight Champion of his country at the unprecedented age of sixteen. A few months later he took the european Crown away from Young Joseph in London still at an age when present Day boxers Are Only making their Amateur debuts. In 1913 Carpentier moved up in class and it was not Long before he held the european middleweight title. After two defeats at the hands of american middleweight Frank Klaus and Billy Parke Georges gained the european heavyweight Crown by knocking out Britain s Bombardier Wells. On oct. 12, 1920, Carpentier after a Brilliant War career Kafoed King Levinsky in the fourth round of a world Light heavy weight bout in Jersey City. From then on the Frenchman could find no opponent worthy of him except in the heavyweight div Ision.
