A fan favorite hangs them up for good
Fighter: Jack Dempsey NP
Division: Middleweight and Light Heavyweight
Record: 46(31) - 7(7) - 0 (16-3 after comeback)
Retired: forced, second retirement, no comeback
Notes: First HOF candidate to retire for good. Dempsey won the MW title twice before moving up and winning the LHW title. Dempsey was the first (and only so far) to defeat Jack Dillon. Only had one bad loss (to Fred Russell) but the rest of his loses came to probably future HOF'ers (Fitzsimmons x 2, Ketchel, Ryan, Papke and Klaus). He finished 5-5 in title fights.
HOF Eligible - 1914 (stats will be available for his HOF poll)
