Rickard the Most Daring Promoter in Boxing History
George Lewis Tex Rickard, a bold and visionary pop promoter known for big scale live bouts, dies at 59 after more than two decades in boxing.

He prized seat integrity and believed Jim Jeffries ranked top among heavyweights, yet admired Dempsey's prowess most.
